Yell, cuss, and chase them off your property. Then find their parents and let them know to watch their damn kids. I have a similar issue.
maybe I’m an ass but…
Get a cover for it, tie it tight! Also talk to their parents if ur able to. Or call the the cops…make a report. So its on file ur attempts should anything deadly happen. Thats very scary and irritating at the same time. Also where are these kids parents?

Put up no trespassing signs saying that if you do than you will be fined a certain amount like $1,000 put several up front and in the back also post that there are security cameras …if you see anyone go to their parents and tell them next time you will call the police and they will pay the fine …not a great way to make friends but it will save your pool and a lawsuit if anybody got hurt

I would absolutely confront those kids and their parents. I just had an incident today with kids throwing garbage behind my house. I lost it today. A parent came trying to tell me not to single out his kid. I said I didn’t but ur kid is involved and not welcome around my home ever again. Kids are a holes and the parents are too.

I’d also get a camera out there for proof and yell at them thru that. 
like I don’t understand who would just get into someone else’s pool, I’d be so upset at my kids if they did that. If it’s not yours, you ask first. 
if y’all are like best fucking friends sure that’s one thing but I’ll be dammed if someone don’t ask to come into my pool first. Especially with no supervision, and drowning happens within like 20 seconds and is silent. And can absolutely happen with less than a foot of water especially with small children.
Just because you have a pool doesn’t mean it’s public invitation.
Put it in your back yard???

Send letters to all the houses letting them know its not for other people to use and you don’t supervise so it’s a danger. Any children using again will be reported as they are neglecting their children’s safety.
Block up any entrance ways and report trespassing. But a sign on the gates that no one is allowed. Giving rules that they could come when your kids are in the pool clearly isn’t working out. So they now get no access

In some states you could be liable if someones child is injured or drowns in your pool. Even if your yard is fenced with a locked gate.
Check the law in your state

- Lock on the gate…. assuming it’s in your backyard…. and a sign saying no trespassing, property owner is not liable for any injury incurred while trespassing.
- tell the parents to tell the kids to stay out or you WILL…
- CALL THE POLICE and file a trespassing report.

Get a cover! Put up a no trespassing sign! And call the cops when you see the kids in the pool, wait til the cops arrive, and have the officer talk to the kids/scare the shit outta them. If you’re able to talk to the parents, talk to them. Be sure you tell them you aren’t responsible for anything. You don’t want anything bad to happen, and get sued.
Talk to the parents. Not only is it rude, if something happens to them in YOUR pool on YOUR property YOU pay for it

Had this problem with a trampoline. We lived in semi-rural area. Came home to find three preteens ( two girls, one boy) on trampoline that was in the back yard, screened by trees. The girls said that the boy had told them it was his trampoline and invited them over. I brought them up to the backdoor, had them call their parents and told the parents they had five minutes to come and pick up their child or I was calling the sheriff and turning their child over to the sheriff. Never had that problem again

Make it clear to the children and the parents that you’re not a babysitter nor a lifeguard. Because if one gets hurt or god forbid one drowns due to not having adult Supervision they’d blame you.

I had to stop keeping mine in my yard for the same reason. I would get home and find random kids splashing in it, so I started keeping it on my front porch, with a tarp secured over it when my kids aren’t playing with it. I also dump it every couple days, regardless, to keep it clean. If restricting access isn’t a possibility for you, I would strongly recommend keeping it empty when your kids aren’t playing with it, as much as it sucks to have to keep emptying and filling it. If the neighborhood parents won’t control their kids, it is a liability for you😔.

We don’t leave our pool up all the time. For this reason and because I don’t think you’re supposed to if there is the risk of stray kids coming. As dumb as it sounds If someone gets hurt I think you’re responsible and if you’re renting its now the owner and they won’t be too thrilled with you then.

I would call the cops. It’s too much of a liability issue. The parents likely know their children are going in your pool. A knock on their door from police will get their attention and get them to pay attention to their kids and help keep them off your property. I know it sounds harsh, but I have had to go to this extent because neighbor kids were coming into our fenced property and playing on our trampoline and in our pool without permission and even kept coming up to our door demanding popsicles with parents no where in sight. It was frustrating and they wouldn’t listen and go home when they were told to. The police agreed it was a huge liability especially since they would even come down when we weren’t even home.

I’d be talking to some shitty parents about their kids shitty behavior
Here’s what you do… go to a tractor supply and it’s about $350 but I would rather pay the $350 than a lawsuit… but anyway, go to tractor supply and ask for the 10x10x6 kennel. While it is a kennel, it comes with a gate that you can lock and it’s 6ft high and it gives you an area of 10 ft x10 ft to play in. However, I have 2 put together for my doggie to go out into when he’s outside. It’s plenty of room! Make sure to put a no trespassing sign on the gate and fencing area.
You can make it into a great play area with the pool so only your kids can enjoy

Literally would just tell the kids to stay off your property. It’s not their yard they don’t need to be in it. Especially with bullying your kid. Your kid deserves to feel safe at home and be able to relax. If they don’t listen I’d go talk to the parents and tell them no one is to come on your property without an invite. If that doesn’t work I’d call the cops.

Have a very serious talk with their parents.
Don’t let any of them in your pool or on your property if they can’t respect your kids why should you let them enjoy what your kids have? Put up a no trespassing sign and tell the parents of each kid if they are caught in the yard after you put up the sign you will call the cops. You don’t have to allow your kids to share with anyone else especially if they are bullies

Hopefully they don’t make you fence it in to solve the problem cause that’s costly too
Sit your ass out there with a beer in one hand, wooded spoon in the other and start whippen some ass… mamma got a problem then she can come get her ass whipped too
Can you put some type of cover over it while not in use by yours? Sad you have to do anything and that kids are helping themselves.
Currently in the same situation with my trampoline 
I would put a no trespassing sign up in the fence and notify police and parents. I would definitely cover myself before there is a disaster.

Put up a 5 foot fence around the pool. In most states it is required by law anyway and no tresspassing signs. Then call police if they climb it.
Do you have a fence? If not that might be an option. Talk to the parents first. If they are nasty or rude because some parents believe their child could do no wrong. Call the police and cps because the parents are watching their children.

Come outside one time with a shotgun and cock that bitch and yell out if anyone steps foot on your property you’re going to put a bullet in their ass. Lol okay I’m kidding. Is it small enough that you can put up and down real quick? If it is I say empty it and put it up when you go in. Or if you can’t get it up maybe empty it. Or you can get a pit Bull or call the cops tell them you have trespassers
Tell them all again and if they don’t listen go to their parents, anything after that is trespassing and you can report it to your local authorities
I say talk to the parents you know kids will be kids,let the parents know if something happens you are not responsible.
Get with their parents and or tell them to leave. Put up a no trespassing sign and then the police could be involved. Parents first and it’s your yard rule it.

Go knock on their door and talk to the parents. If they don’t do anything call the cops make a report so if something happens you already have documentation of it.
It takes a tablespoon of water to drown. I wouldn’t want a kid to climb in and drown. And yes people should keep a watch on their kids and not let them wonder to someone else’s pool, however accidents happen.
Some states have laws where if your yard isn’t fenced in, you can’t have a pool up 24/7.

That would drive me insane. Put a fence up with signs & if they come back, I would do as others have suggested and call the cops & cps. I wouldn’t even talk to the parents… Obviously they don’t care. If they did, they’d keep a better eye on their children.

Yeah, I had bought my son a trampoline and kids from the neighborhood would use it well one kid fell off and broke his arm. Its not safe that kids are coming without adult supervision. I would call the police so the police can contact the parents before something bad happens. If something bad happens on your property you could be sued. So I’ve been told.

As soon as u allow other kids in, those kids become your responsibility if anything happens.

I’d call the police. You warned them, now let their parents deal with it.
Same thing happened to me with our trampoline. First it was a few kids then it turned into 9+ kids all jumping on it atonce ranging from 3yrs to 16yrs. I told them they were more than welcome to come over but they would have to ask. Of course they didn’t and ended up breaking it. They also were jumping from my deck to the trampoline and thought it was a good idea to stand on my glass patio table and broke that too. I tried closing off all entrances to my yard and even flipping the trampoline over while we weren’t home but nothing worked. One time I caught them coming over 8 at night and asked them if they could come back later they started yelling at me picked up a rock and through it at me (almost hitting my glass slider door) I yelled back at them that if I see them again I’m calling the police. They yelled go ahead and ran home. I didn’t see them again after that.
