Also dude really didn’t know how to swim? because he looked like he could but I don’t get how a dude that athletic could run out of energy that quick and get to the point of drowning from that distance unless something happened to his body or something

 

[Koltrain]

I wonder if he started cramping or something....he was off to a good start. Smh at the fool talking bout I'll get you if you drown

 

[Doc Holloway]

He wasn't using his legs enough. His legs were mostly kicking beneath the surface.

They described a drop in the depth of the water in the middle, I'm assuming it wasn't as deep in he was fake swimming, and when the deep water came he panicked and drown

Shit it look like he swim how I swim

Can do it but it require way too much energy to stay afloat so I generally avoid it

If I try tread water for more than a minute I start catching cramps and shit

He shoulda hit that dead man’s float (irony not intended) till help came though

Well it’s not about me but I had Guyanese neighbors across the street with a pool and they taught me how to swim growing up

didn’t know at the time how valuable it is to know

also I felt myself about to drown at the beach a few times still knowing how to swim so you still gotta be careful
