All of my toddlers take swimming lessons and mine are all close to 3 years old, with that said my children are never ever left unattended even for a few seconds when my pool is set up. One needs my help in the bathroom we all go! I can see why centre's need to follow these rules as there child ratios are extremely high. Its really sad what happened in Orleans a few years ago and it really sucks when irresponsible
Providers ruin it for the rest if us. Also its a really good example for us on how we must always be safe and responsible.
