Do not let little children out of sight near any water bodies. Keep the play area completely separate, they should not be allowed to run or play near pools as they can slip

One can only feel for the family of the four-year-old boy from Malad, who slipped into the swimming pool of his building and drowned. A report in this paper stated that the little boy was playing with his friends after his swim session. He apparently came in running towards the pool, slipped in and adults near the pool did not see him. He drowned in a few minutes.
As summer vacation comes up, there will be a rush at various pools across the city. This is especially true with pools opening up, as the pandemic lockdowns are lifted. This is not to point fingers at anyone for the tragedy referenced. There are some takeaways from drowning incidents across, not just this particular one.
