Backyard Swim Lessons?

I am thinking about giving beginning adult swim lessons in my backyard pool (5 x 12 yards). Does anyone have any experience with this? I know I need to look into the nuts and bolts--e.g., insurance, neighborhood regulations, etc. But I'd really appreciate any success or "war" stories to help me think this through. It's a great idea, BAD, great idea, BAD, greatbadgreatbadgreatbad.............!

    Well, if someone drowns in your back yard pool, and their family starts making a claim that it was your fault, do you have the resourses or the insurance coverage to defend yourself and prove that it wasn't? that's the worst case situation... Write down pros and cons and evaluate the likelyhood of each one of thos actually materializing, and then decide for yourself if thos are acceptable risks. Acceptable risk for you may be tottaly different than an acceptable risk for me or someone else. Sorry if I'm pointing out the obvious.
