Some very old designs might be, but modern designs have many safety features which prevent any danger. New pools usually use a doulbe drain system so that if on drain is blocked (say by a child's body) the other drain can still work fine which prevents the child from becoming stuck. Many drains are also covered by a grate which is designed to prevent a sucktion seal from forming against anything that blocks the drain.
