I have a friend whose then-4 year old son drowned at a party - she had gone inside, leaving dad to watch. He flat-lined, but they got him back. He's had a rough past 3 1/2 years, and she almost divorced her husband. You can NEVER stop watching YOUR kids - this incident was at the YMCA, with lifeguards present. No one cares as much as you do about your children, and it only takes a second.
When my now 17 year old was younger, she always had a pool party at my mother's for her birthday. I would hire a lifeguard to watch the 5 - 6 kids there, just to do everything I could to insure their safety.
Thank God everything worked out for those poor kids.
