To avoid getting hurt. It's specially important if you plan to jump into the water. Quite a number of people get badly hurt each year by diving headfirst into shallow waters and hitting the bottom hard.

Why the actual depths of the swimming pool should be examined before jumping into it?

The depth of water in a swimming pool should always be examined before jumping into it because you can cause injury to yourself (and in some cases, others) if the water is too shallow. For a person of average size, 9-12 feet is suitable for jumping into, as there is plenty of room to submerge and surface safely. Anything too shallow- about 6 feet and under- could cause injury to the jumper- generally impact injuries that could break bones or crack skulls, depending on how you jump in and how deep or shallow the water is. Also, always make sure there is no one too close or beneath you before diving, for you could cause serious injury to yourself and them.

It is recommended to remove before swimming because there will be a higher concentration of chlorine around the float. Since chlorine is toxic in high levels, you should not swim while it is in the pool.

When swimming laps (as opposed to racing) you should breathe out in a continuous flow underwater so that you are ready to draw your next breath as your mouth breaks the surface.
