Pool rules
For those of you with pools, what are your rules?
We have an inground pool. Ours are:
-Never go in the pool area without a grown-up
-No running on the pool deck
-No going in the deep end with out a grown-up with you - even if you have swimmies on
-No reaching in to get things
-We do allow jumping in, but only from a specefic spot. Not sure if that is a good idea
We also tell them their is a 'one-strike' policey for not listening in the pool if it is a safety issue. They will get a time-out out of the pool area if needed.
Just wondering what other people do. I have 2 very active boys who love the water and I want to make sure we have the safest summer possible! Also wondering what people do when they have company with kids. Or if they ever have playdates with swimming.
Our pool is gated and locked and the boys are never in our yard alone. The boys do often wear swimmies. My oldest is learning to swim and can a bit. We do swim lessons every summer.
