if you're ever in a situation where you're near people who can't swim, swim downwards if they latch on to you, they will surely let go. as messed up as it is, they'll drown you to keep themselves alive for another minute

Watch the documentary video. There was likely a strong undertow here, and swimming downward is a death sentence.
