Hi Allison!

There are a few things out there that might help resolve the problem, without causing too much friction with the in-laws either!

There are many swimming pool alarms, gate alarms, and even child alarms that can help alert a responsible adult if a child enters the pool area. Some of these are: http://www.safetyturtle.com , http://www.aquasonus.com , http://www.aquaguard-pool-alarm.com/, and http://www.poolguard.com/door-wireless.asp

Not sure if the swimming pool is an above-ground or in-ground pool. If it's an in-ground pool, then a child safety fence is an option: http://www.poolfence.com/ , http://www.protectachild.com/ and http://poolbarrier.com/ are just a few.

Also, what alysiak said in the last post is worth looking into - There ARE safety barrier regulations mandated by each municipality.

The in-laws will hopefully understand that what you are trying to do is out of love for them and for your children. I don't think they could imagine being responsible should something tragic happen. .. .

Best Wishes - Feel free to contact me if you need additional advice.
