Many people have drowned in lakes, rivers, and even in oceans. In fact, many people have also drowned in swimming pools as well. So, do you think that swimming is a dangerous sport?

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.
Sswimming can be dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing, especially if you can’t swim well or don’t know when to push yourself. It’s important to recognize your limits. Knowing your own capabilities and taking precautions is key to staying safe. Personally, I’m a very strong swimmer. Before my health issues, I was doing a mile of just butterfly without legs and another mile of just freestyle. I knew when not to push myself too hard, and for me, the danger of drowning is very minimal and low.
Swimming is a relatively safe activity, but you should be aware of the risks, which include injury, drowning, and overexertion. That is why it is critical to learn how to swim properly, master the required skills, and use caution while in the water.
If you swim in a lake or river, or even in the sea, it can be dangerous but in a pool where people are around, it is very safe.
Swimming provides a safe experience as long as players implement sufficient protection measures yet its basic dangers continue to threaten novices and any person who swims in the open ocean. Swimmers face the real threat of drowning so they need to follow basic safety standards.
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.
Swimming is not a dangerous sport, but it can be dangerous if it takes place in a condition where there is no supervision, poor training or not following safety guidelines .
Many people have lost their lives as a result of lack of safety while swimming in a pool. Oceans are not the only places where people could drown. People have also lost their lives while swimming in lakes and rivers. Unfortunately, safety standards are quite low in certain places in case of an emergency and this is where things could take a deadly turn.
Deaths in swimming are caused mainly by outside factors, such as rip currents or some prior medical condition.
There are no current in swimming pool. Having said that, currents are present in oceans and major water bodies. Even though swimming pools may not have currents, there are still risks involved in swimming in swimming pools. Delta P is one if the biggest risks that has taken the lives of many swimmers.
Swimming is generally safe but has risks like drowning, hypothermia, and overuse injuries. Competitive swimmers face shoulder strain and dehydration. Open-water swimming adds dangers like strong currents and marine life. Proper training, safety measures, and supervision minimize risks, making it one of the safest sports.
I keep seeing "Delta P" being mentioned. That's a diving hazard, not a swimming hazard.
I don't think swimming is a dangerous sports, it can only be considered dangerous when you either don't know how to swim, or it is done in a dangerous place.
Yeah, swimming is not a dangerous sport in my personal opinion.
