We are in a neighborhood with lots of kids and we're are the only pool that I know of.
I have the young kids (8, 5 & 3) and I have no problem with their close friends coming to swim whenever we are home and the pool is open.
But it's the other kids in the neighborhood that concern me. They are "sort of" friends. If my kids and those kids are outside at the same time they'll play together, but that's about it. I don't know their parents.
What's your policy on those kids swimming in your pool? We keep the gate to our back yard locked so I'm not too worried about those kids swimming while we're gone, and our kids are never in the pool without supervision...
But I guess I'm concerned in this day and age that some crazy parent will, I don't know, do something stupid or crazy????
Am I being too paranoid? What do you do when the random kids in your neighborhood want to swim?
