Can a toddler go in the pool...

I remember finding this out about 3 weeks before our cruise last May. Our daughter was a little over 2 years and 3 months old. I really wasn't going to potty train her until summer, but I was determined to potty train her for our cruise. We have a pool so she loves to swim and I knew that there was no way I was going to be able to keep her out of those pools. It was hard work, but we did it and she had a great time in the pools. The camp carnival counselors were great too. We told them she was just potty trained and they made sure they took her to the potty often...

You can bring an inflatable for him. There is a big long thread around here somewhere with pictures to show the kind that other parents have brought with them.:)

 

out of curiosity, are there drains nearby to empty it?

Depends where you set it up- casino? no drain there I'd think. Balconies have drains, as does the pool deck. Most small inflatables you can carry even when full to the nearest shower or deck drain.

Nope, we just dump it right back in the main pool. ;)

 

 

KIDDING! I'm KIDDING! :p

 

When people bring inflatables, they can dump it down the shower drains if there is a shower at the pool. They can dump it down the deck drain. And some say they just dump it in the sink at the janitor's closet.

 

We are only talking a couple of buckets here. It doesn't take much to take the buckets back out and dump them in an appropriate place.

I'll be taking my partially potty trained toddler in the pool. I know many adults that aren't potty trained that go in. :rolleyes:

Please say you're kidding. When your little darling has an accident and the pool has to close for cleaning, well... THAT stinks.

Nope, not kidding. I am sure she will be trained in full by the time we go, but she "doodies" in the toilet regularly. It's pee when she has the occasional accidents. We have a pool here and never had an issue, plus I teach swimming at a pool.
