A 19-year-old man has died in a swimming pool at a sports complex in Panvel. According to reports, the teenager waded into the deeper end of the pool and was in trouble soon. Lifeguards went in to save him and took him to a medical facility but it was too late.

This throws the spotlight on swimming in pools. There is a belief that nothing will happen in a swimming pool, one can hold on to the wall or edge of the pool and be safe. However that is not true. If you cannot swim, you should not be in a water body, no matter what people tell you.
