[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does camp count? My 8 yo goes into the pool without parental supervision at school and camp, but there are lifeguards. [/quote] I used to lifeguard swim team, and there were always dozens of kids at the 8&under practice without a parent in attendance. People saying that they won’t let their kids out of sight until they are 12 are crazy. [/quote] I'm one who said on the older end -- that was assuming no serious swimming, based on my own childhood experience. If my kids get into swimming or any other aquatic sport, I'll probably look to coaches/other parents for appropriate freedoms for different ages. But assuming they're solely casual swimmers only getting practice at public pools in the summer (as I did), I think they need to be older before I'd be comfortable letting them swim without my supervision.[/quote]
