Not here. We do have gates with almost all pools
and even a gate doesn't stop the worst of them.

I was talking about locks,

That one is locked. All pool fence gates have to be.

I didn't know you lived in lawyer filled America.

and on things that cannot be scaled,

That little monkey shows that they all can be.

like a front door to a house.

It stops them wandering in for a laugh. Won't stop burglars though, nothing does.

That's the kid's problem.

No problem for him.

And their parents for not simply teaching them to swim.

No point in his case, there was no pool yet.

Everyone should learn to swim, it's a very useful ability. Sensible people teach their babies to swim, it's easier at that age. Then you know there will never be a problem if your kid falls into something.

Pools here don't generally have fences.

Only because there are **** all pools there.

Those that are don't have fences, we aren't as pessimistic as you lot.

Fly into Sydney, you will see that most have them here.

Kids can either swim or aren't stupid enough to go into a pool when they
can't.

Even sillier than you usually manage and that's saying something.

If you have kids that go into a pool when they can't swim, they need removing from the gene er.... pool anyway.
