      You're welcome, @Chisos! I thought there might be some people not currently in the council who might be wondering. Glad to have helped.

      Home Pool Party

      By qwazse · Posted

      The qualified adult may supervise a team of competent youth. Your location is non-trivial. It is easy to let one’s guard down in a home pool. Simplest suggestion; make sure everyone has left the water at designated times. Don’t take for granted the swimmer on the ladder will be out if your back turns away.

      Thanks for the update on Bear Creek.  I went there one summer as a youth, and was wondering how they were affected.
