Warning! Keep them within arm's reach!

Its very scary. It's lucky you were there. I almost drown with I was a kid. I was at the pool with the school. The teachers didn't notice at all, it was a high school student who ended up pulling me out. It was so scary, I have never forgotten it. I don't know if I will ever be able to trust my kids in the care of a school at the pool.

Thank goodness you were there and took action quickly!

Our local pool has a policy where they issue children under 5 with armbands that say that they should never be more than arms reach from their guardian - a very good visual reminder to always be directly supervising them in or around the water.
