I once lived with my oldest brother and his 4yr old daughter. He had joint custody every 4 months. Well one year we had her for summer. So we took her to the pool every day. Because we lived in apartment building and the pool was right outside our door practically. She loved it. She wanted to swim even at night.
So to stop her lol we told her at night they let the sharks out to clean the pool. We said the sharks rub on the walls and clean them and protect it from people sneaking in at night.
We even showed her the drain that is for collecting leafs and junk and said it is where the sharks come out of. Lol
She never asked to swim at night after that lol but she did ask to see the sharks. So we pretend that we saw them and a few times she claimed she saw them
She was so cute I feel so guilty lol
I can’t actually say that one ever crossed my mind. Not in a pool anyway.

When I was somewhere between 6-9 I remember seeing ads on TV for an indoor pool where you could swim with sharks at your own risk. They were smaller species, as well as young-adolescent, but still dangerous.
.
The ads fascinated, and scared the living shit out of my tiny self.
.
That ruined swimming pools for me.
