[quote=Anonymous]I actually think fewer kids can dive because there are fewer pools where it's allowed because of newer safety regulations. (Even backyard pools have to be 10 ft to have diving boards in many places whereas my own 7 ft backyard pool did as a kid.) But basically swimming skills? My kids are 11/9/7 and all of the friends they invited to the pool last summer (when they were 10/8/6) were pool safe. All of the 10 & 8 year olds could swim, swim... and all of the 6 year olds could not drown (and some could really swim). Your kids are a bit younger, so maybe it's just that you're ahead of the curve, but I don't see the trend you do with just slightly older kids.[/quote]
