Kids that can swim + supervision + fence around the pool = no worries. While I think Wayne is definitely going the MIT route to solve a relatively simple problem, having a special needs child definitely changes the equation. My 4 year old couldn't last for an extended period of time in the water, but he could pretty easily swim himself to the side if he fell in. Ultimately I agree with Matteo though, I wouldn't have bought a house with a pool if I didn't want a house with a pool. In my case I didn't want a pool, and passed up a number of nice homes because they did.
