[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Today I had the second scariest experience in all of my 12 years as a nanny. I took the kids to swimming lessons today, each one had 30 minutes with the instructor at different times. I watched as the 4 year old swam back and forth in the pool, float on his back and retrieve diving rings from the bottom of the pool. When it was time for the older child's swim lesson, I sat at the edge while watching the 4 year old play on the steps. I watched in slow motion as the 4 year old drifted off the steps and sank straight down. He didn't flail, he didn't cry for help, he didn't even try to swim, he just sank. Luckily since I was right there, I jumped in, with my clothes on and brought him right up. I was shaking so badly after it all happened and was so thankful I was right there and saw it happen. So, as a reminder to all nannies and parents please watch your kids closely while in the pool. Even when you think a kid can swim, it's better to be safe than sorry! [/quote]

Shame on you! You should have been IN the pool with the four year old not just along the edge. If that child had drowned it would have been your fault and if I were your MB I would be FURIOUS that you deemed yourself too high to get in the pool with my child.[/quote]
