I don't really think I'll ban small children as most of the ones we've had in the past have been darlings. But, I think I'll add something about privacy and small children around the pool into my terms and conditions.

Yes, a contract to sign including supervising children at all times around a pool sounds good.

They know they are not allowed near the pool if I'm not around. It's made me wonder about whether or not to allow young children next season - or maybe I'll just have to get them to sign a responsible parenting contract!

Shame they didn't pick up the papers and read about the two or three children who've gone missing in the past few days. Crimes against children are far higher here than in many other European countries, the UK included, yet people seem to think it's safe to let their kids wander off. That aside though, there's the two pools to think of. Clearly my lecture on the importance of parental supervision around the pool fell on deaf ears.
