How would you react or what would you do if your 6 yr old told you that he was swimming at his dads with a 9 year old and no adults within the fenced area to watch over them?
I know for a fact that if I asked my ex husband he would either deny it or start another fight. My ex has lied to me many times on issues concerning our child. He even dismisses my suggestions when it comes to our child's health eg.. No swimming because of a chesty cough, no swimming because of school sores, comes home sun burnt etc..
It doesn't seem to matter to him..
I am at a loss.. It's like talking to a brick wall even when we have talked about it at mediation.

I'd be furious but unfortunately I don't think there is anything you can do about it. It's crappy parenting but you can't force change.
Kids health comes first, document it all and get advice.
I'd talk to the Dad. Maybe your son is not telling you the Truth, or not understanding your question - Maybe the adults were supervising but just not in the fenced area. Maybe Dad was supervising next to the fenced area? Have you seen the set up where the pool was? Just something else to think about.
