Part of my response to this is that an acquaintance from middle school drowned in a river about a week before his graduation in the late 1980s. He was with his bestfriend who relayed to us what happened. The water was really calm and they were walking through it and touching the bottom with their feet. Suddenly the river got deeper and the water was rough below the surface. He was swept away in front of his best friend and other people. A man was able to rescue his best friend. It took them a week to find his body washed up on the land.
They could swim very well but the water is unforgiving and they didn't have life vests.
