I honestly think public access or apartment type pools will eventually be limited to something like 3.5 or 4' deep
Not that it will prevent all accidents, but deep ends seem like ridiculous exposure for one of these places

Police said not one of them, including Allen, knew how to swim.
A maintenance worker jumped in the pool and pulled two of the children out, and a police officer rescued the third. All three children were transported to Children's Medical Center in Dallas, where they later died.

I don't have a land line.
I also go into the pool with my child, and she knows how to swim. Uncanny, right?

well thats bad for her for sure though the husband is disputing that claim.
I dont think it changes that this apartment complex is fricked for having a pool so dirty that people couldnt see where the kids all were straight away.

I'm assuming mom can't swim either considering it sounds like she didn't even try to rescue her own kids

absolutely.
but this story may have been different had the complex not let the thing get so dirty they couldnt see bottom.

I think its safe to assume that...

With that logic we should be able to sure the power companies any time someone drowns in the river. What in the hell does the shade of water have to do with being able to swim or not?

I'd probably drown trying to save my own kids before I stood there waiting for help

Shared negligence.

She had to watch the other two as well. It's just a giant inexcusable clusterfrick regardless of race.

Oh you can believe, the complex is as good as sued. They were warned and let it continue.

Well if a court were to determine that cloudy water that caused people to be unable to see the bottom was a part of the reason they drowned (such as a rescuer being unable to see them to get them out in time) then they can allocate fault to the apt complex in a wrongful death action.

Your answer was a poor one. Answering the question of how a 10 year old, with access to a pool (or anyone with access to a pool) doesn't know how to swim with "because the white man a century ago didn't let black people swim" is pretty weak.
quote:And I answered it. It's over. Just go answer him however you want and be done with it.
The question was how people don't know how to swim.

Power company is not responsible for keeping the rivers in safe condition for swimming. An apartment complex with a pool is.

If you can't see into the water the conditions are unsafe. Its called basic safety maintenance.
