It meets height regulations and it also has a locked gate when you walk up from the deck. So as far as liability, I think we are pretty much covered, our insurance company and the town both came out after pool was completed to see if it adhered to the safety guidelines.
I would still ask the police, put them on alert as unsupervised swimming can be dangerous to the swimmer, especially if impaired with alcohol, drugs, etc. To not notify them might cause you problems. Next time the kid may bring a young child with him. And ask if I had any further jurisdictional preventative obligations should one of the kids slip & fall & become a quadriplegic, etc., & be certain your insurance policy doesn't have a clause that says you are covered only when swimming is properly supervised, or some language like that. I would keep time, date, phone numbers, places called & name, title notes of my conversations, and file that away.
