We have a service that takes care of the pool cleaning so that part isn't a big deal. The liability is what freaks me out. That pool gate stays locked at all times but all it takes is one time of someone forgetting to lock it. My 5 year old can't swim, yet. It's a huge worry.
That IS the scary part. You hear of so many little kids found floating in the pool who were out of sight for just a FEW minutes. That would be so horrible. I just can't even begin to imagine.
My nephew just bought a house that had a pool. The people had just built it, then decided to move. He didn't really want the pool, but wanted the house, so what are ya gonna do? It didn't even have a fence yet. He's got a 2yr old that's really a pistol and another one one the way. They're gonna have to watch him like a hawk!
