[quote=Anonymous][quote]No, it's pretty dangerous to have a 5 year old whose parents think that swimming skills are protective. Those are the parents who do risky things like reducing supervision.[/quote] That's ridiculous. Once a child has a certain level of swimming skills, it is entirely appropriate to [u]reduce[/u] supervision. That is why YMCA pools and various city and private pools have swim tests that children can pass such that they can be in the water without an adult. It is not, however, appropriate to [u]eliminate [/u]supervision - a parent still needs to be on the deck watching the child. [/quote]
