Now, I know I know – it can be dangerous. But I think people here are greatly exaggerating just how dangerous it really is.

Drowning is the number 6 leading cause of death for children in the US. It would be number 4 if it weren’t for our fondness of firearms and cars.

3 children a day drown in the US, that’s not counting the kids that almost drown, and end up with life-altering consequences from it.

Water is dangerous, hands down. An innocuous mistake around water can lead to your permanent disability or even death in just a few minutes. Treat it with respect.
