Why would jumping in a swimming pool not save you from a tidal wave?
In: 4
If you have scuba gear and plenty of air and something to hold onto at the bottom of the pool it might save you. But it will be more the ground and the pool walls doing the saving than the water. You could still get hit by something heavy carried into the pool and dropping onto you. But the tsunami should rush over you. The tsunami water will mix with the pool water and dump debris but the earth will shield you from much of the violence. Just keep in mind a tsunami is not a quick wave that blows through and is gone. There will be lots of water and devastation above you for a long time. So bring lots of air.
