It can be if you swim in dangerous areas, but other than that no.

I would say that swimming is a dangerous sport. I have heard many horrible stories of people drowning in swimming pools as well. I also found myself getting drowned in shallow water as well. It was an embarrassing situation for me; however, it was still quite dangerous. Regardless of that, I believe that necessary precautions should be taken before anyone dives into water.
