I read this article today:

It got me thinking- what are steps that pool owners should take to limit liability in cases like this? Pools can fall under an attractive nuisance doctrine. How much is enough to protect yourself?
Right now we have a basic iron fence that meets the code for climb-ability and has self closing gates that surrounds our pool, but there are no signs and the gates are not locked so any kid tall enough to reach the latch can get in.
