I feel compelled to add my few cents.

When I went through pool certification courses a few years ago, one statement has dug its way into my head:

"Most children drown in a pool with BOTH parents watching."

It seems one parent thinks the other is watching...and of course that is what the other parent is thinking also. So, the parents MUST keep an eye on the children and not expect those other adults in the boat to do their job.

My dad took us four children on his 15' runabout in Lake Mead and the Colorado River when I was just a small child. We knew our place. We knew what to do and not to do. BOTH parents kept an eye on use.
