Growing up, my family did have an in-ground pool with a high gate that locked. Additionally, even with the gate, my brother and I were not allowed to play outside without adult supervision.
Most importantly, my parents introduced us to the pool at young ages and took swimming lessons as soon as humanly possible.
Gates, locks, and constant supervision are the best methods to prevent accidents.
