Maybe they should have put their e-mail addresses on the signup list. Or even better, next time give them a paper at the beginning of the class that says

Dear parents,

Please check the ‘Poop-Watch’ section of our website nightly, so that you will know whether to bring your kids for lessons the next day. Or better yet, TEACH YOUR KIDS TO USE THE TOILETS!

There were 41 messages on the machine Monday morning. Most were about the closures, asking about how we would compensate them. If the people were to listen to the message on the machine they would know! Today I had a lady yell at me about the closure. Her daughter was “distraught” when she came to the pool on Thursday and found out it was closed. The suggestion this mother gave me was to call the swimmers and let them know about the closures. There were 548 “campers” that session, and the only place the phone numbers are kept is on one computer. Her next suggestion to give each teacher 40 names to have them call from home! I would have to write down all the numbers for the teachers to take home! Not solutions to our communication problem.
She had one more suggestion. The teachers could have hung out at the front of the pool to hand out the candy bags and let the kids know about the closure. Could you imagine standing there from 9 to 5 giving out candy bags to “distraught” kids?

Well, the Red Cross suggests not to go swimming till babies are 6 months old. By then most babies are on some “solid” foods so their poop is more “solid” as well. When we took Avery swimming she pooped in the water diaper and it did not come out. We would have noticed it in the water since it is florescent yellow.
The weird thing is there wasn’t even a water babies class going on at the time so, it had to have been a kid that was three or older.

yuck, sorry you have to deal with irate parents. it’s not like it’s your fault!

i doubt the disposable ones hold in pee since they get wet under them, wetness could easily escape too. what about infant poop? that stuff leaks out of regular diapers all the time…would the disposable swimmers even begin to hold that in?
