[FONT="][FONT="]Hello TFP Community,
[/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT="][FONT="]I’m new here. My name is Joanna. I have three children under the age of six and a very full time job and my husband and I just bought a house with a pool. I grew up competitively swimming and so I’m excited to have a pool but also terrified. For one thing, my husband’s job is VERY demanding. I’m a busy girl and already responsible for all things house related in addition to my own job and three little kids (two of whom are duplicates). My husband actually calls me “the family handyman.” For another thing, I’m really concerned about safety. [/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT="][FONT="][/FONT]
[/FONT]
[FONT="][FONT="]So all three kids started swimming lessons as soon as we moved in last summer and we have a door alarm and fence around the periphery of our property. But frankly, I’m not assured that it’s enough which is one of the reasons I joined TFP. Hoping for some advice on safety. [/FONT][/FONT]

[FONT="][FONT="]Another reason is that we are about to begin major pool renovation. Turns out our pool sat vacant and unattended for years after the 2009 owner foreclosed. I am told that all the lines are pressured tested and the pool managed to survive despite negligence in part because it is a very well made pool. So yay! But it needs resurfacing/are-coping and re-tiling. So whomp whomp. Anyone want to rap about Pebble Sheen ocean blue?[/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT="][FONT="][/FONT]
[/FONT]
[FONT="][FONT="]Anyway here’s the best picture I can find of me and my pool. There’s a giant $1500 trash bag laying over our pool at the moment and we do not have many pictures from last summer so I apologize for this one. Yes, that is me and I’m soaking wet after diving in to rescue a twin in distress. And no the other twin is not urinating in the yard but I acknowledge that it looks like he is. [/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT="][FONT="][/FONT]
[/FONT]
[FONT="][FONT="]I read all of the rules and guidelines and hope I’m not violating anything. Nice to virtually meet you all.[/FONT][/FONT]
