The swimming pools thing is a much bigger leap. Dr. Phil says 360,000 people die each year in swimming pools, but in reality the U.S. averaged only 3,536 unintentional (as in, not murder or suicide) drowning deaths each year from 2005 to 2014, per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and that includes drowning deaths in other types of bodies of water, not just swimming pools.
