What are some pool drain horror stories?

Sure. There was a story where a young boy was playing near a pool drain. His small finger got sucked into it. He screamed in pain as the suction was so strong. It took quite an effort to get his finger out and he had to be treated for a bad bruise.

One horror story could be that the french drain was not properly installed. For example, the slope was incorrect. Instead of water flowing away from the house as it should, it started pooling near the foundation, leading to water seeping into the basement. It caused mold growth and damaged stored items in the basement.

I've heard of an Uber Pool horror story where the driver took a really long detour to pick up another passenger. It added a lot of extra time to the journey of the initial passengers. And not only that, but the new passenger who got in was also in a bad mood and started arguing with the driver about the route. It made the whole atmosphere in the car very tense and unpleasant.

One horror story is about a swimmer who saw a large snake in the pool. It was slithering along the edge and he panicked. Another is a girl who felt something grab her ankle while she was underwater but when she surfaced, there was nothing visible. And there was also a case where a man found a large, dead rat floating in the pool, which was really disgusting.

One horror story could be about getting caught in a strong undertow in the wave pool. I knew a person who was tossed around violently by the waves and felt like they couldn't reach the surface. It was really terrifying for them as they were gasping for air and panicking.

One horror story could be a person almost drowning because the lifeguard was distracted. There was a pool party and the lifeguard was chatting with someone instead of watching the pool. A child slipped into the deep end unnoticed and started to struggle. Luckily, a guest who knew CPR was able to save the child just in time.

One horror story is about a pool that had a hidden underwater current due to a faulty pump system. A swimmer got caught in it and struggled to reach the surface. It was terrifying as people around didn't realize what was happening at first.

One horror story could be that during a pool party, a large snake slithered into the pool. People were screaming and trying to get out as fast as they could. It was a terrifying moment as no one expected a snake in the pool.

One common element is equipment failure. For example, a broken ladder can leave a swimmer stranded in the pool with no easy way out. Another is water quality issues, like when the pH balance is off and causes harm to swimmers.

The most terrifying element is the unexpected appearance. Just when you think it's safe, the drain girl pops out from the dark, dank drain. It gives you a huge shock.
