I'm no expert on children but seems to me they did listen. They were asked not to splash in the smaller part so they moved on. Then later the OP moved on to the larger part where the boys had previously moved to when asked not to splash. So why do the children have to move again?
Unless if the children had already left the larger part then saw the OP there then I would say at that point it's a matter of something like hey he/she said we couldn't be in the smaller part and now he/she is here that's not fair. That seems to me the way children think sometimes and I can't say I blame them if they did. They aren't going to understand the adult wants to cool off and decided to go into the larger part of the pool while it was empty if the children had already left.
Of course it doesn't excuse their behavior by getting even and yes they do at that young an age decide to get even if smart enough. Most kids today are more braver especially when there's no adult present. I wouldn't expect them to understand it's wrong to do that after they already left the other part of the pool.
I know my kids go no where without me or my wife or both of us. Granted they are still a toddler and a little girl but I could not imagine letting me kids out alone to play. The only time that happens is at our home which has a fenced in yard with a gate locked on it so no one can get in or out unless I let them in or out. Even then I check on them constantly. I could never allow my kids to go unsupervised I guess I am just a cautious parent but I would rather be safe than sorry.

She said the pool (the big one) was empty when she got to it. Then they jumped in. So in my opinion she was correct and in the end its the fact that the kids were not being watched.

Yes and it does look that way. Had the parent(s) been there to see them they could have told the children it doesn't matter what part of the pool/where they are jumping/splashing the lesson to learn is don't do it around adults and especially when you were already asked not to the first time.
Aren't there suppose to be lifeguards present? why didn't the lifeguard warn the children or ask them to stop.
My children absolutely DO NOT have to accomodate adults simply because they are "adults". That is total BS. I respect my children as seperate, autonomous beings. They are not taught to listen to every adult they encounter. They are not taught that adults are somehow more deserving of being treated nicely than children.
Putting kids on pedestals does them no favors. They grow up arrogant, narcissistic and boorishly unbearable to be around. Kids are NOT equal to adults.

Yes, they are. Kids and adults are human. Recognizing that and respecting that is farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr from putting them on a pedestal.
I don't even know where you would get that idea from, TBH.

Its funny because I can tell EXACTLY who was put on a pedestal as a child at my work. And these are girls in their mid twenties.

Of course you don't let a toddler go out and play unsupervised. But these were not toddlers. I assume at some point you will let your kids go out and play without you.
