Swimming can be enjoyable, but it can also be dangerous. Sadly, many people have drowned in lakes, rivers, oceans, and pools. It's important to stay safe and be aware of dangers while swimming.

Many people may have not realized this fact. However, I have listened stories where people were diving in a feet feet deep water, but they still drowned due to delta P. Delta P is a kind of condition where water flow form high pressure. The diver usually gets stuck. This has happened in shallow waters as well. So, the risk is real.
