It's so weird how people just don't have an innate ability to swim like I remember getting in the water as a kid and I wasn't like an Olympic swimmer but I could understand the physics way more than this full on adult???

Lots of people are just stupid - and can't figure it out - and there may be a fairly big difference between people who have very little fat on their bodies - and sink QUICKLY.

I was a THIN kid - and took swimming lessons - but I was REALLY scared - because I don't remember the teachers ever being close or even me feeling that they were aware enough to save me if I needed it.

NOW - I'm probably fat enough that I would float easily - but I've probably put on 60 pounds compared to when I was 30 years old.

Exactly, as a kid, i thought "not knowing how to swim" is 'can't doggy paddle past 15 feet or so before trouble' which is still true, that's not knowing how to swim. But I've said this many times before, it's fucking absolutely bonkers how many videos I've seen of someone drowning because they can't swim one foot to literally save their fucking life. The majority of the drowning videos i've seen, the person is always less than 5 feet away from land. In this case, this dude was in shallow water, took one step into a drop off, and literally couldn't move his body 12 inches back to shallow water. How god damn pathetic.

Reminds me of a video of that kid who filmed himself drowning on a school trip via his gopro, surrounded by dozens of people hanging out in shallow water. I've also seen multiple videos of groups of people drowning near an arms reach away from land.
