Re: Family Member Films 27 Year Old Man Drowning in a Pond Near a Dam in a Park
That is so sad  I started swimming when I was young as a recommendation from the doctor to lessen my asthma. It worked, I'm quite a strong swimmer, they wanted to enter me in competitions but it wasn't something I wanted to do If I was there I would have jumped in and saved him. Poor guy |

So you're suggesting that those conditions make a person immune to heart problems? It being unlikely isn't the same as it being impossible, brother.

He was more than likely under the influence of something. That Xanex bar kicked in when he got to the raft. Motor skills seemed diminished. Chances of cardiovascular complications would be extremely low considering age and healthy status.. He may well have had a preexisting condition that could have exacerbated while performing heavy exertion. Unless we have the diagnostics this is all speculatory  |

So more afraid of it than cant, and a little dont want to, it just seems like a easy way to avoid a avoidable death, all you have to do is use your arms and legs and act like you're trying to fly |

Re: Family Member Films 27 Year Old Man Drowning in a Pond Near a Dam in a Park
maybe the construction in the water is in fact an intake for pond water. mind the tiny fence only at the construction. The pond is a water buffer providng water in case... When the intake is 1-2 meters below surface in dirty water, you don't see it working. But swimming near the intake, you will feel it pulling the water in the layer around your legs .

Re: Family Member Films 27 Year Old Man Drowning in a Pond Near a Dam in a Park
Why the hell would you dive into an open body of water if you don't even know how to swim? Just utterly stupid! Even more the fact their was a sign saying it was prohibited. |

Re: Family Member Films 27 Year Old Man Drowning in a Pond Near a Dam in a Park
Except for the fact that he might have been a fine swimmer and had been there many times before with our issue. And then he suffered some heart issue and he couldn’t just reach a few inches to pull himself up on that thing. I knew someone years ago, he was a young adult, maybe 19/20, fit, knew how to swim. Then for some reason he drowned, at the same place he had always gone to swim at. He just drowned. IDK how or why, never asked...but I was stunned that he drowned when he was such a healthy, fit, capable swimmer. It happens. |
