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.
I’m trying to teach my 3yo to swim right now. People that don’t know how to swim can not fathom not panicking and then burn up all of their oxygen flailing. If you know how to swim, you remain calm and the motions to get you through the water are intuitive. If you don’t know how to swim, it’s not.
my kid knows and can do the proper motions, but he panics and wants to (try to) doggy paddle and keep his head out of water. Extremely inefficient for getting from point A to B.

It had a vinyl liner, and you couldn't get traction on the slope.
Now, we all knew how to swim, my dad "taught" us as infants. Remember the picture of the infant underwater? He did that, before we had any memory. Infants seem to instinctively pick it up, and it sticks. Even to this day, I default to a breaststroke because that's what we did.
I did this with my son, and he picked it up too.
You really don't want to wait until you're old enough to "be taught".
All that said, this story really sounds odd. And per the photo posted earlier, it seems weird as hell. It looks like an above-ground pool. I didn't know they made them that deeo... if they did, it's possible (there would be no shallow end), but still...

That still doesn’t make sense. Natural instinct of anyone not an infant or a toddler would be to flail around. The act of flailing around should make one tread water. Even if they just jump in and sink, moving around just a tiny bit keeps the body at the surface. I mean, it is work to actually stay beneath the water. When you dive into the deep end of the pool, you have to intentionally try to stay at the bottom. The slightest effort to move up to the surface takes you up even without movement.
I guess that there are people in the world that have zero buoyancy? But 3 in one area at the exact same time. I really don’t get the science behind this.

Everybody (5 yo and older) needs to know how to swim. If you can’t swim, learn. If your kids can’t swim, you are a terrible parent.

If that worked, hardly anyone would ever drown. There are videos out there of people drowning in calm water. They flail around. Flail up and down and then drown. There was that recent video of the man who took a bet to swim across a neighborhood cereal or something like that. He flailed and then drowned. People who don’t know how to swim easily panic in six or 7 feet of water. They don’t stand up straight. People can easily drown in under 30 seconds

I'd say yes as I can't swim and do indeed drop like a stone.
The only way I can float is face down if I stay still. Not very good for breathing.

Why in the hell would a family that doesn't know how to swim buy a house WITH A frickING POOL?
Posted on 6/27/20 at 12:48 am to The Hurricane
They may have wanted the house and kind of ended up with the pool.
One house I looked at the last time I was buying had a concrete tennis court in the backyard. I don’t play tennis and neither do my kids, but if that had been the right choice in all other categories we would be trying to figure out something to do with it.

The grandpa would have been better off just taking a shovel or brick paver to the side of that thing.

I’m guessing complete panic. White people tend to grow up around water more often whether it be pools, lakes, creeks, etc. Many other races don’t. It’s hard to explain someone panicking in water until you see it. I’ve seen 6ft tall men panic in 4-5 ft deep water.
I’m guessing the girl was panicking and the dad wasn’t a good swimmer so he panicked and then the mom couldn’t do anything. Crazy unfortunate story
