[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 am the first "don't swim alone" poster. If I'm handing my kid off to someone, whether it's another parent who I trust on a playdate, or a swim instructor or coach, or a camp counselor, then that's totally different. When I said 10, I meant for free swim at the neighborhood pool. My kid swam without me there at camp and swim practice long before that. But until 10 there was always an adult who was specifically responsible for them, like a counselor, instructor, or coach. Not just a lifeguard they may or may not know.[/quote]
