DS does go to swimming lessons, swims in pools and lakes.</end quote></div>
LAKES can become contaminated with germs from sewage, animal waste, water runoff following rainfall, fecal accidents, and germs rinsed off the bottoms of swimmers</end quote></div>
Yes they can; however, the study on hot tubs indicates MILLIONS of particles of bacteria compared with a significantly less at the school swimming pool or the lake we go to. And we feel it's important that DS learn how to swim.
I once read an article about parents of a cfer who wouldn't allow their child to play on her own slide in the back yard after a rainfall or until the dew dried in the grass because they were so overly concerned with her getting something. Need to have some balance between dealing with a cfer and having a normal life. But hot tubs -- gross ME out and we used to have one before DS was born. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
