Its pretty well known that Indians in vacation destinations in Africa and the IO (Seychelles and Maldives) are pretty prone to overestimating their swimming capacity.

why did the city not hire lifeguards this year? A lot of times we would get there at 9 or 10pm, and only see the woman that took our money at the gate and maybe once at the falls during the night. And they actually keep the falls well lit at night, for anyone else that hates crowds. |

Well known fact/true stereotype.
Friend used to lifeguard at a pool.in a town that hired a lot of Indian H1Bs for engineering work. They started up with 2 extra lifeguards starting around 4-5 for Indian hour when they all got off work and brought the fam to the.pool. Always a shitshow. |

There is a video out there of 3 .Indians. drowning.
3 men, it is a sad, disturbing and pathetic sight. Found one of them (2018). https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5761601/Three-men-accidentally-film-drowning-pond-India.html There is another from 2015.

I swim about 4 days a week at my gym. I've seen a dozen Indian adult males try to swim in 4 feet of water and it looks like they are going to die. They thrash about and totally panic within a few meters and have to stand up 2-3 times in a 25 meter pool. They would die within a minute if they fell off a cliff or out of a boat. They do send their kids to swimming lessons though. The little ones seem deathly afraid of water.

Vacationing is a new concept for Indians. So for us certain common skills like the ability to swim, using sunscreen and not wrecking every toilet we find are newfangled concepts for them.
So we just need to keep letting them be themselves and the problem will sort itself out. |

In India the water is so full of sewage and garbage you really don’t need to swim, nor learn how to.. you sorta float on the shit.. toss someone who’s used that that into fresh water? Yup gonna have issues.. also explains why when I was on the phone with customer service, two of my calls went dead for no reason....

Two Indian students died a year or two again when they decided to go swimming in a local lake...when the weather was starting to get bad.
One was deceased upon arrival and the other hung on in ICU until brain death was declared. Yeah, Darwin and all that, but it’s still sad they died. |

Maybe the water is especially treacherous right now because of all the rain we’ve been having? I know they had to close Arcadia and it’s only now reopened.

Here’s an idea. Don’t go near any body of water if you have zero experience swimming or treading water. It ain’t rocket science.

MANY new immigrants where I live are from India. Their poor kids are in their teens, and in learn to swim classes. I'm glad they realize their kids need to learn to swim, just surprised it never occurred to them before moving here. You can't read a book about swimming, you can't memorize how to swim from rote, you have to get in and do it.
