"But that does not negate the idea that
swimmies are dangerous. "

It most certainly does. In every examply you used, the PARENTS were dangerous, not the swimmies.
When my children are too young to swim, I am in the water with them (or another largish swimmer that can hold them), swimmies or not. Most of my children hated any kind of floatable on their body, so I held them. But those that did use some kind of flotation device still had me right there....there's no way any swimmie was dangerous on any level.
I alternate between the kiddie pool and the big pool, holding them and being right next to them. Same thing at the beach. Swimmies aren't dangerous, people are.
