Helicopter Parent?? At SAB?? You bet!!!
Although not terribly spread out the sight lines are terrible. My first experience is taking my DD7 and 2 to SAB without DH who was golfing. It was not a relaxing morning. DD2 wanted to play in the sand (and that day screamed when held in deeper water) while DD7 a good swimmer wanted to be in deeper water ...that was on the other side of the 8' deep lazy river and out of my sight. When DH joined us we were much happier with a one-to-one parent to child ratio.
Even if I was not concerned about the water aspect of SAB, I would be concerned about having my young children out of my sight in a very public place.
Now everyone has to make these decisions for themselves. How comfortable you are allowing you children to do what and at what age. Now my girls are 11 and 6, and I would not as much a 'helicoper' parent with the older one at this point.
