Boy in Critical Condition After Falling into Florida Hotel Pool
Florida, home to some of the largest swaths of beautiful shoreline available in this country, is also the location of thousands and thousands of swimming pools. From private backyards to public community pools, these oases provide millions of people a chance swim in freshwater, far from crocodiles and other nautical carnivores, and in a confined area where it is easier to monitor children. Unfortunately, it often transpires that swimming pools create a larger danger than previously thought. Such was the case for a family vacationing in Orange County earlier this month.
