Cooling Off Your Funny Bones: Swimming Pool Oopsies

This story is free to read because readers choose to support LAist. If you find value in independent local reporting, make a donation to power our newsroom today.

Whether you're opting to take a dip in your apartment complex's communal pool, at the YMCA or your gym, in your own backyard (lucky duck!) or at one of the City's many public pools, nothing beats the summer heat like a swimming pool session. Today's video lunch is a tribute to the what NOT to dos in the pool, though.

We'll start with Viral Video Film School's compilation (by the way, we'll miss you, InfoMania!) which includes all manner of "water safety", and then throw in a few more silly pool flubs.

You come to LAist because you want independent reporting and trustworthy local information. Our newsroom doesn’t answer to shareholders looking to turn a profit. Instead, we answer to you and our connected community. We are free to tell the full truth, to hold power to account without fear or favor, and to follow facts wherever they lead. Our only loyalty is to our audiences and our mission: to inform, engage, and strengthen our community.

Right now, LAist has lost $1.7M in annual funding due to Congress clawing back money already approved. The support we receive from readers like you will determine how fully our newsroom can continue informing, serving, and strengthening Southern California.
