03:00If it's your first time at this pool...
03:02It's easy to mistakenly believe that the entire pool is as shallow as the water near the shore.

03:12His son also mistakenly stepped on the slope at the bottom of the swimming pool.
03:15Nearly drowning
03:16Fortunately, an adult was nearby and pulled him back in time.
03:19That is, of course, just some people's opinion.
