10. Lets just get some liability for negligent parents whose children drown in their pool
Before we worry about egregious bans we should start with incremental changes. Hold parents criminally negligent if any child drowns in their pool. They created the hazard and it should be their responsibility to make sure that people are not hurt or killed.

This leaves it up to the owner to install some degree of protection around their pools while not creating an undue burden on people who don't have children.
