Flow Down Below
Kids always have that fear of getting too close to the pool drain—being afraid that they'll be sucked right down to where the alligators live. The truth is, however, that the suction on the drain is minimal (about as dangerous as the suction in a bathtub).
A pool drain is just another piece of pool equipment that keeps the water flowing. It is there so debris can constantly be filtered out (that's why the pool floor is built on an angle).
*To make sure there's no outside chance of people getting feet stuck you should cover the drain hole on the outside of the pool. Use a cover with tiny holes (similar to showerheads).
