Kids Life Jacket

- How well do people pay attention at ur pool?
I went to the pool today to take my son for the first time (because of winter months) there was kids every where for a birthday party, This one woman came in with her 3 sons, she went in the bathroom to change the youngest about 18 months, When she came back she told the middle one about 3-4 not to get in the water without floaties & noodle, but he did anyway i wasnt paying much attention to them as i was with my family, she walked calmly over to the edge and told this boy (about 6) to grab her son (the 3-4 yr old) he cant swim. the other boy was wereing a life jacket & afriad to get in the water i looked when she said that &the boy was completely under water and had been for a good while. i reach over quickly & pulled him up *he wasnt that far* & NO ONE in the whole place even noticed!! All the life gaurds where just setting there doing nothing,.... this really freaked me out because when he got out he was like foaming at the mouth & as he was sinking he didnt kick or anything..... how easily he could have drown... has anyone seen something this horrible no the mom instead of being like hunny are u ok she jumped on him because she told him to wait untill he had his gear

A That's horrible! We don't go the public pool hardly ever because we have our own but i always remember when i was younger and my mom watched us like a hawk. One time my sister dived in the deep end and didn't come back up and the life guard just sat there...my mom...i remember her freaking out because its THEIR JOB you know? I can see how you would of been freaked, was the lady fazed by it at all? When the little kids swim i am always out there, but when the older ones i just have to be at the house...i do watch out the window but with the little ones i am always out there watching or in the pool with them. My kids life, i value.
