A 21-year-old Wichita State University student drowned after jumping into Blue Pool, a popular Oregon swimming hole known for its dangerously cold water. The student died Saturday.
Blue Pool, located near McKenzie Bridge in Oregon, is a popular swimming destination, but the water temperature averages a frigid 37 degrees Fahrenheit. The area's natural beauty has been described as "breathtaking." Despite its allure, the pool has a history of drownings. Officials have previously warned visitors about the risks associated with the swimming hole, citing its cold temperatures and strong currents.
