I'm not trying to be rude I don't get how someone doesn't know how to swim. Is it cause they weren't taught? Fear? I figured out I can swim by jumping off a diving board into a deep end of a pool when I was like 8 and I came back up, I've been in water before but never where I couldn't touch

I feel like a lot of it comes down to inexperience and sheer panic being in a bottomless pit of water. When you're in panic mode and breathing heavily it can be hard to stay afloat. I was always taught to stay calm, keep some air in your lungs, and don't thrash about, just try to float.

That makes sense the panicking for sure. The main reason I was wondering is I've tried to teach a friend of mine that couldn't swim and that's all he would do is panic and I'm like calm down, that's why you're sinking, I feel like I did a terrible job at the time trying to teach him but eventually he got it

He knew, he kept afloat didn't he? And reached the centre of the pond...

Oh yeah, but he barely knew how to swim. Once he panicked, he reverted to standard drowning/splashing action, which is what killed him. The undertow didn't kill him, his lacking ability to swim/float/tread water, along with panic, that's what killed him.

You'd be surprised how many people who grow up in cities never even step foot in water deeper than a bathtubs worth. Where I'm from everyone either had a shitty shiver ground blowup pool or at least the public lakes and pools and stuff. Also people don't know if you just lay on your back and breathe you float, they think you just sink like a rock and panic

No, swimming and floating/treading is not intuitive, and someone who doesn't know how, if put in deep water, has an excellent chance of drowning. You were either very lucky or you had just enough experience to be able to handle the situation.

If heard alot of people say the best thing to do when you come to save a person who's drowning is to punch them in the face, to either knock them out or disorient them so they can't drown you too

This video fills me with rage, especially if you see the bottom one with audio. All the spectators filming and screaming he gon drown ! Get in there! He gon die! You better get in there! Etc. Now there's 2 dead people and they did fuck all to help. But if he didn't try they'd be calling him a coward and murderer smh.

To rescue drowning people you need lessons first. Always approach a drowning victim from behind, you don't want their hands on you no matter what. I find drownings fascinating. I am a very good swimmer and know my limitations. Had a moment on the Big Island I thought I was going to die once, somebody else did in the same seat of waves, it was their honeymoon and feb.14, very sad seeing her fall to the sand as she got the news from the fireman at there beach he husband drowned, surf picked up fast on Hapuna Beach that day. I have a scar from reef. Went from 5 foot sets to 20 feet in an half hour.

This video has always made me very angry. Fuck that retard.

Jump in the discussion.

Well that was quick.

I keep seeing a trend: Middle-to-old-aged men thinking they can physically handle WAY more than they can. They get in young peoples' faces, women's' faces, and as soon as the smallest tap comes their way, they're on the ground after they lose their balance and it was far too easy to do. Like, damn you REALLY overestimated yourself if you can't even stay standing when someone gives you one half-hearted push/hit etc. I guess in this particular case, both of these guys overestimated their own physical strength and stamina. And in this one, it did not take much to drown the guy who was supposedly going to save this huge guy, like how was he going to do this enormous feat if THAT was all he had in him, it's just over-confidence and I see it a lot from this age + gender demographic.

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.

First, I can't believe this was all about a log in the water. Second, if you don't want to die rescuing someone like this, be prepared to have them pull you under to get themselves above the surface. When this happens do not try to swim back up, swim away first while under water and then come back up otherwise you'll keep getting pushed down before you can take a breath.
