"As an additional thought, Gerry, do you really think it makes safety sense for lifeguards to be charged with babysitting responsibilities? For example, what if the child has wandered off into an area away from the pool, then the lifeguard would be…"

Gerald M. Dworkin replied to Phil Ashworth's discussion Children left unattended at your pools?

John McGowan replied to Phil Ashworth's discussion Children left unattended at your pools?
"Our current policy is that children under 11 must be with someone 16 or older. When our insurance company reviewed our rules they actually would like to see 12 and older to be at the pool by themselves."

Our current policy allows children 10 years of age and older, access to the pool facilities without an adult. Children 9 years of age and under must be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian.

What's your current policy? I want to raise the age for children allowed, unattended, to at least 13 years of age.
