Is this ok?

Do you just drop your 13-14 yo at the pool (ours is an aquatic center with a lazy river) if they haven't been actually invited by a fiend to show up at the pool?  I know she would know kids there but just feel a little uneasy about it but maybe it's no big deal???

[PinkieRed]

I don't think I'd be comfortable with it, particularly if she's not a strong swimmer. Even a good swimmer can drown, and lifeguards can't see everything at once. It's always safest to swim with a friend. Can she make arrangements specifically to meet up with a friend or friends before going to the pool?

If you can trust her. I would want them to be there with someone. Is there lifeguards?

[Hannahluvsdogs]

I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving my kid alone there.

[DarlaHood]

Yes, providing she is responsble, can swim, will be with at least one friend, and there are life guards or other adults to supervise/help if needed.

 Only when they have teen night

I would have no problem with it if my kid was a strong swimmer, knew she was going to be with a friend, and was going to be there for a set amount of time (like 3 hours).

I would and have

I wouldn't be comfortable with it knowing how teenagers like to rough house and lifeguards are not babysitters.  Plus I'm very obsessive when the kids are around water I was the mother that had to be in the pool when the kids were when they were little I couldn't just sit on a chair and relax while they were in the water.
