So you child proof your pool by putting up fences. Good for how long?
When your child is old enough, he can climb over. The fence gets an upgrade.
When your child is an adult, he too may die.
My grandma was a fisherman and dives for a living but one night, she went to the porty house which is at the end of a small bridge. She accidentally fell in and possibly having a cramp and died drowning.
This is my Omen and I have near drowning cases myself, all started with stories about me Rolling in the waves as a toddler in Malaysia refugee camp. Got saved by a stranger. Another time me thinking that if I jump in 4 feet of a swimming pool water, I can just give swim my azz to the steps. Didn't make it but by the grace of willing to live, I found the steps but drank a gallon of water in the process. 2 of my childhood friends died in a canoe accident back in the Narleans days. A bunch of us kids skip school and stole/borrowed a neighbors canoe for a joy ride. One guy got cute in trying to catch a wild duck and the canoe flipped over. One guy got to shore first and uses a branch to save the second. One guy said he only knows how to dog paddle and already gave up and saw himself sinking slowly but once again, before death, you get that last urge of energy as your last hoorah. He doggy paddled again to the surface when his friend caught him with the branch.
Two guy cousins died. One guy was a good swimmer that came back for his cousin. Couldn't make it when the other guy hugged him to death.
I had nightmares for months.
And yet, I fished all of my life but I'm cautious about the water from here on out. Took a swimming class in college but wrong class as they only teaches how to be cute in the water. We did backstroke, butterfly, freestyle and I did 100 meter worth and yet, I still claim my azz as a non swimmer. I learned all that without them teaching me how to thread water first. How the figure?
I hate drowning cases. My phobia, my nightmare.
