pool drowning
Water submersion death
Pool drowning is death by suffocation in a swimming pool, typically from submersion when a person cannot keep their airway above water.
The term often appears in safety contexts and statistics: Pool drowning is a leading cause of death for children under five.
Near-drowning or nonfatal drowning describes incidents where the victim survives.
