Hmm... no deep end, so the kids don't really ever have to learn to swim.

Yep. That'll keep 'em from drowning.

Bingo. If a kid can stand up in the water, good luck teaching him that he needs to learn to swim.

They should fill 'em with sand. Then they couldn't possibly drown no matter what they do.

I'm sure the stupid soccer moms are behind this crap. Their sons are so overprotected they will all turn out to be girley-men, if not full fledged sodomites. Even soccer has probably been re-defined as too tough for these future pansies.

My kids learned to swim in 4 feet of water. They didn't need a deep end. Our public pool utilizes a deep end for diving. Beyond that I see nothing wrong with the idea of having a pool that gets no deeper than 6 feet if diving isn't an option. In fact - I'd love to have a community pool like they described.

Getting rid of the deep end and diving boards is ridiculous, but I REALLY like the gradual entry thing. It's just so much easier if you have a little one.

Perect retort.

I was in Las Vegas at the Treasure Island last spring. What a disappointment! 4 feet deep, just a big kiddie wading pool.

Lawyers run our country.
