Kid's supervised in Pool?

[bogino]

I know you can leave the kids in the various clubs and adults can then go about their own affairs. How many kids pools are there and do parents leave their kids in the pool areas under supervision of ship personnel or are the parents required to be in the pool area themselves for supervision? Thx.

There are no lifeguards at the pools, definitely do not leave your kids unattended. :)

I'd really like to add to this subject. Please, please, please adults: Supervise your children in these pool areas. During the July '01 cruise too many kids were unsupervised. It is so annoying to take a vacation with disruptive, unsupervised children running wild on a ship. The clubs are SUPER for supervising children - they do an OUTSTANDING job and the kids will LOVE the staff and the numerous activities. That's where every parent needs to place their children when they need some adult time alone. Thanks in advance from a July '02 Western cruiser.

There are two kid pools - one very shallow for younger kids and a deeper one. My seven year old could not stand in the deeper one but she's a peanut.

I agree that some parents don't watch their kids. My husband and daughter were swimming in the Goofy pool and kids were jumping in the pool. One time a kid almost jumped on my daughter (she was 4 at the time) and the parents didn't say a thing. It says right on the pool walls No Jumping.
For you kids own safety around other kids I would watch them carefully.:(

I wonder why DCL doesn't have someone at the pools for safety if only to inforce the NO JUMPING rule. The pools get so crowded on sea days and on both my previous cruises there were many children unsupervised jumping into the body to body filled goofy pool. Nasi

Just have to say this.....
PLEASE remember drowning is a SILENT killer and it only takes a small amount of water to drown. Is leaving your kids unsupervised at a POOL worth this risk (there's no going back after it happens either)??????????

I agree that we all need to watch our kids. But, from our last cruise, I do think that I recall seeing a DCL Crew Member at the pool. But, there were so many kids, he could only be there for emergencies. It gets wild at the Mickey pool. ANd, as others have said, not all parents care to watch their children very closely.
