I believed that swimming with the light on in the pool was fine at night, but if the light was turned off in the pool that the drains in the pool would open and sharks would swim in and get me. I could only scare myself for 1-2min of swimming w/ light out in pool before I would get out & turn it back on. How I thought the sharks swam through 8in holes I do not know
