[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you to the replies that gave real suggestions.  I am going to ask that they get the puddle jumpers since I wont have an extra set of hands there with me and that she or DB go with us the first time so that I can see how my older charge acts while there and have an idea of what to expect.

I may very well be over thinking this after I see the environment but I don't believe in ever being too safe.

I just don't see a couple of noodles and arm floats while holding a baby being enough of a safety measure. I don't care how shallow the water may be.[/quote]

NP here and an MB.

I do think it would be unreasonable for you to refuse to take the kids to the pool. That said, I also understand your concerns about safety and think it's very reasonable for you to ask that they get the pjs and go with you the first time to orient you to the experience. When you discuss this with your MB, stay focussed on your concern about doing this activity safely and wanting to be fully prepared for a fun outing.

FWIW, you are overthinking this a little, but that's ok. It doesn't seem to be paralyzing you into inaction. We all have moments in our jobs where we are asked to do something new and that can be disconcerting or uncomfortable. There is absolutely nothing wrong in asking for help and guidance to help you feel safer and more capable.

GL, OP.[/quote]
