[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter had a pool party at a pool with life guards  and we invited a family with twins. Mom dropped the girls off and didn't tell me they couldn't swim. We were able to get them life jackets and I stayed in the pool to make sure they were safe but it was very nerve wracking.  [/quote]

FWIW, I can't swim and have never worn a life jacket in a pool and always been fine splashing around in the shallow end. No need for a lifeguard, parent and a life jacket! You kind of went overboard there.[/quote]

The difference is you are a tall adult and these are kids.  When we had a pool party there at a different location we paid for a second lifeguard and several parents stayed inside as did my spouse to monitor things.  You can never be to careful.  Some of the kids were not swimmers.  Its actually a nice party idea as you can bring your own food so we had tons of food for the parents and kids so parents stayed and monitored things as well.  Only a few dropped off.[/quote]
