One of my antivax essential oil Facebook moms mentioned that Bill Gates has something to do with this.

The frick? In a 6-7 foot deep pool, an adult's head would never be more than a foot or so under the water. You could just continually bounce off the bottom to get above the surface.
And hold your breath and drag the drowning kid to the shallow end essentially walking on the bottom.
Drowning people go insane. I'm a good swimmer and was in a situation with someone who thought they were drowning, left bleeding nail marks all over me.

Swimming with clothes and shoes on isn’t easy... for someone who can’t swim, it’s extremely difficult. I’m assuming they had clothes on as it didn’t sound like they were going for a dip.

That is terribly sad...but how the frick can you not know how to swim at that age? You didn't even accidentally learn at some point...Jesus

Reach. Row. Throw. Go.
One of the things from Advanced Life saving that will be burned into my brain forever.

What?
Never mind. Have you seen India's waterways? I wouldn't learn to swim if I lived there either.

So how do you have a pool and no one knows how to swim?

Look at the CDC website it’s very disturbing who drowns

In a 7 foot pool you don’t even have to know how to swim
You only have to know how to bounce a foot or so.

Let’s take this opportunity to go over the water rescue procedure:
Reach
Throw
Row
Go
Reach for the drowning person first, preferably with like one of those shepherd crooks, or even your hand
Then try to throw a flotation device. Pools are supposed to have them right by the pool
Then go out in a boat to get them, if possible
Lastly, this is important, is for you to jump in and try to save them. Often times in panic, they’ll just pull you down, too. Plus, if you’re wearing jeans, it’s quite difficult to swim with jeans on, even fi good swimmers

As a pool owner I find this story to be incredible. Even if you don't know how to swim, you should always have a throwable float and a hook. What pool owner would possibly take this kind of ridiculous risk?
Yeah this is just a sad and ridiculous tragedy. The adults here are (were) morons.

I mean if you’re not a swimmer then whatever but don’t have have kids and buy a house with a pool that nobody knows how to swim in. That sounds like the setup for a particularly disturbing scene out of the Saw franchise.
