    dive head first into pools

    Do you mean with a scuba tank? What’s the problem if one dives in without a tank? Is the danger that they could decide to jump in from the shallow side?

      The context was in the four words prior, “tells kids not to”. You see it a lot. Little kids get excited, start diving in head first everywhere and some hit the shallows or bench, or steps. Thankfully, kids are light, bendy, and able to regrow teeth.
