Armed guards were called in to keep children in line during the holiday weekend romp in the only public pool open in Iraq.
Officials there say that children can easily lose control when left unattended and the guards were only put in place to keep order.
Among the top things kids are not allowed to do is dive, run or actually swim. Floating is allowed the official added.
Anyone breaking the rules will either be shot on site or shipped to Guatanamo Bay.
