Swimming pool
An afternoon at the pool: splashing, games and a first few strokes.
You need
- swimsuits and towels
- goggles
- a water bottle and a snack
- the pool entry fee
Steps
- Check the pool's opening hours and prices before you go.
- Stay within arm's reach of every child, eyes on the water, the whole time.
- Start in the shallow end.
- Agree where each child is allowed to go in the water.
- Get out every 30 minutes for a drink and a snack.
Watch the water constantly: drowning is fast and silent. Use flotation suited to your pool, never as a substitute for watching.
Next time, don’t search — shake Snowlan.
