We have four ponds on our new property. 1 is a wildlife pond on the other side of a creek, so it won't be too easily accessable. The other 3 are about 100-200 feet from the homesite. I have already found some information on making a rescue post ( Pond Safety l), but I'm interested in any other practical advice on keeping these ponds safe. My daughter is only 4 months old, but I'm thinking ahead to when she is able to move around. I'm going to start her in swimming lessons at 6 months (mother & baby class). I hope by the time she is allowed to play outside alone that she will be able to swim (maybe by 5 or so).
Thanks in advance,
Nicole
