If you value your children's lives, ditch the pool.
If you still want the pool, put up 'fail safe' fencing. See below.
When in pool area with kids, and swimming lessons are not THE ONLY solution,
get off the phone, take the ear plugs for your music out, and be alert.
If you are the only one in pool area, and you have to leave, even for 10 seconds,
take the kids with you, or lock them in an escape proof cage.
All too hard isn't it?
A child that can swim, will react differently to getting in for a swim,
as opposed to falling in. Even an adult will respond differently when "pushed"
into water, as opposed to getting in/diving in for a swim.
Still haven't heard how these twins got into the water. Also, if they were only out of sight
for a few seconds, why did they die? Even a minute under water, a person can be saved,
yet both these drowned in a few seconds? out of their parents' sight for only a short time.
(A short time, an indeterminable period of time, unless you are using a stop watch).
Are kids programmed that if out of sight for "only a short time", the will jump into a pool??
"Police said the Manago children were out of their parents' sight for only a short time before they were found in a Kellyville Ridge backyard, and the pool met all the necessary safety requirements."
Sounds like the pool met all the safety requirements, but the parents, (both of them) didn't?
Wonder what was so important that at least one of the parents couldn't watch the kids?
