I have a pool. Unlicensed of course. I have a 8 foot chain link fence around it and its under lock and key with a spring loaded door. At the top of the stairs is another set of doors with an alarm. If any of the children were to ever climb the fence they would be termed on the spot. Its also not attatched to my house. but my group is young, common sense is that I can't let them go out by themselves anyways. I also had my pool inspected by my town as I had to get a permit too.

the drowning incidents happen at the one house when the provider had all those other providers over and no one was watching the kids and if I remember correctly she didn't have a fence around her pool only a fence around her yard which you are allowed to do (I just go overboard in safety and I have my own older kids) and some of the other drownings that happen is when the pool is attatched to the house, so someone opens the sliding door and theres the pool. This is why my pool is in the middle of the yard.
