It's about limiting risk: kids can die both while driving a car and being a passenger of a car, but that doesn't mean it's inconsistent to ban child driving. For young children especially, drowning in pools is the leading cause of drowning, much more than natural settings, which are relatively rare (for young kids, bathtub drownings are next after pool drownings.)

I said most, because I see a place for swimming pools that are monitored closely by lifeguards and that offer swimming lessons. I'm thinking more of private, backyard swimming pools.
