I can see both sides of the argument.  Only DCL has lifeguards but that's only after they had a drowning.  Most hotels do not have lifeguards and they have far larger pools.
 
On the other hand, a lifeguard does make people feel better.  But with a lifeguard comes more liability for the cruise line because drownings still can happen even with a lifeguard present.
 
As a parent, I have a 4 year old and she can't swim alone anyway but I'm not even sure what age I'd feel comfortable allowing her to go swimming without me.  Parents cant be everywhere and watching all the time but there's no way me or my wife is not in the pool with my daughter. 

You're right. I found an image from a year and a half ago of the rules for the Current Pool in the H2O Zone. 
 

I don't see it as a big deal. Those pools are so small, lots of people in them and I don't think a parent should leave a 4yr old alone swimming either way to be honest...and when u see how small the pool is on the Brilliance you will see what I mean.
 
Some of the bigger ships have many different pools and some just geared towards childern. If they want to charge childern an extra fee on their booking price to cover the extra help required sure.
 
It's rare if ever that u hear of ppl drowing on cruise ships pools..way more drown at parks and oceans and quite often where there are lifeguards on duty.
 
No more costs to be added on please and thank you!
