Can a crocodile come into the swimming pool?

This morning I had gone for a swim with Papa in the pool in our building. As we were resting in between laps, I asked Papa - "Papa, can a crocodile come into this swimming pool?"

Since I as on the other side of the pool to Papa, he asked me to come to him. So I swam the lap back to him and repeated the question. He didn't answer my question, but instead asked me what I thought.

I told him that I don't think that a crocodile could come into our pool. And then we went on to discuss the same.

I told Papa that the crocodile would first have to come out of the forest, come to the city and then come to our building. But then the security guards would stop it at the gate and not allow it to come inside. Even if somehow it came inside the building, it would not be able to come up the lift or the stairs from the P1 level to the Lobby level where the pool is.

Then I thought a bit more and said that maybe the crocodile could come up using the ramp and then come into the pool and eat us. And I got a bit worried.

But then Papa told me that if the crocodile was hungry, it would meet many humans on the way and could have eaten any of them. And I felt relieved!!!!
