I'll agree it can happen in a second. My daughter was about 4 and playing in the pool with her cousins. My wife and I were standing right there watching all of them. My daughter was jumping up and down in the shallow end. As she bounced up, she would drift out a little deeper and she didn't know the floor sloped down. She bounced once too many times and went out a good bit all at once. Under she went and I was standing there watching it happen. I still see her little eyes looking up under the water. I couldn't reach her from the edge. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and jumped in to pull her up. None of the other kids knew what was happening. It happened so quick she was just holding her breath but I know she couldn't get out of that. Filled my wallet with water and my clothes but she was none worse for the wear. Went right back to playing but had a better fear of the deeper side of the pool.
I did the exact same thing when I was young and couldn't swim yet but in a natural lake. Each bounce pulled me out a little deeper and thankfully my sister saw me go under. No parents around but the bigger kids watched us pretty close. We all survived somehow. Drowning can happen in seconds.
