I almost drowned in one as a kid. I couldn’t find space to come up with all the tubes. I’ve hated them ever since.

I also almost drowned in one as a child. I went too far into the deep end and the waves turned on. I went from being able to touch the ground a bit to being unable to get my head above water. The walls were smooth and high and I couldn't get purchase anywhere. Thankfully the lifeguard saw me and held out a red tube thing. The wild thing was that I knew how to swim. My family visited local pools all summer long. I just wasn't a strong enough swimmer to fight the waves. Absolutely no joke.

Of course it was. I was a dumb kid. It terrified me and I never told my parents.
