Try to slide off the drain rather than pulling directly upward, which can strengthen the suction.
Whether you are here for the safety warning, the comedic relief, or simply to confirm that pool drains are secretly sentient monsters, this article is for you.
Move to the closest wall, climb out, and walk (or run) to the nearest spot where you can grab a towel or find your swimwear. Conclusion
Most swim trunks come with a functional drawstring, yet many people leave them loose or tied in a weak bow. Before going down a speed slide, tie your drawstring tightly using a secure knot (like a surgeon's knot) that won't easily slip when wet. Choose the Right Material and Fit
I did the "crouch of shame." You know the one. You suddenly remember a very important object on the floor of the pool and must dive down to look for it, even though you know it is gone forever.

: In a pool, check the skimmer or drain if they floated away.
When you go down a steep body slide, you are traveling at high speeds while water is being pumped behind you. When you hit the "splashdown" pool at the bottom, the sudden change in resistance creates a massive amount of drag. If your trunks have a loose waistband, that drag acts like a giant hand pulling them straight down.
In the grand history of poolside embarrassments—from losing your dentures on the diving board to your kid yelling "Look, Dad's belly is jiggly!"—losing your trunks to a pump is almost a rite of passage. It is a story about the raw, unforgiving power of hydraulics and the fragility of cheap rayon blends.
Loose, baggy trunks create drag. When entering a high-volume water jet zone, the drag forces can exceed the strength of the drawstring, leading to the trunks being pulled down or off. 2. The Hidden Danger: Beyond Embarrassment
If the waistband feels loose when dry, it will be a liability when wet.
Lightweight, ballooning fabrics trap air and water easily, making them prime targets for hydraulic drag.
