I personally wouldn't be comfortable with it. In my opinion, it's just not worth the risk. Do you have current lifeguard certification? Do you know exactly what to do if there is a spinal injury in your pool and have the proper equipment at hand?

Another thing to consider, have you talked to your insurance about rates if you do get a pool that dc children will be using? Will they still cover you?

We plan on sticking with sprinklers at our dc.
