Swimming is another past time that children like.
Swimming is considered as a sport and at the same time a fun activity for young children.
Adults and kids enjoy swimming together in the pool especially when there are games involved.
Families often times go to a pool to have a fun time with their kids during summer.
There are those that stay overnight and have a barbecue while their kids and some of the other family members enjoy a swim.
Old people even have the opportunities to swim even just for a short time.
Old people love to see their grandchildren play at the pool and grandparents just love seeing their granddaughters and grandsons play with other youths at the pool.
The only thing that anyone should watch out for are the hazards near and in the pool.
Kids are energetic and that makes most of them prone to accidents.
As a parent, it is our duty to protect our kids and prevent any accident as much as possible.
But sometimes, the parents' watchful eyes are not enough to prevent some of the accidents that can occur to their kids.
