Google "swimming pool deaths" -- not a pretty picture
At the very least you ought to warn these people explicitly that YOU are not going to provide lifeguard duty while they're in your pool.
Condos and hotels address this problem by posting signs explicitly warning people that there is no lifeguard and they are responsible for their own safety while in the pool.
That doesn't get to the basic issue between you are your husband, but it could keep you from losing your house to a lawsuit if there's an accident of some kind.
There are so many ways people can hurt themselves in or near a pool. Your husband is asking for trouble by being so free with his invitations. He needs to be clued in to the potential life-altering consequences of his pool generosity.
