This has happened 3 times now. I'm playing with a family of 4, 2 adults and 2 teens. I was having a pool party in the backyard when all of a sudden the daughter drowned then died. Luckily I didn't save the game at the time so I got off the game and went back on it where it resumed to the pool party (I saved the game before my sim died).
Then, after a while, the son drowned, so I restarted the game again.
I then played it for the 3rd time and after a short while the dad drowned.
Why does this keep happening? Their needs are OK and there's also a ladder in case they want to get out.

WHAT'S GOING ON! !
Just like when your sims are cooking food, the game code encourages the occassional badly cooked dinner, or a fire.... the coding as well decides that someone needs to drown in the pool.
I found it was the pool being too narrow that did it. Well at least, when I widened the pool they stopped drowning.
1) Delete your caches, as the game may be relying on outdated faulty data. That might fix it. http://sims3.crinrict.com/en/2011/01/faq-delete-your-cache-files.html
