That's really horrible. We hear stories here also of people jumping into canals or washes to retrieve pets, only to get pulled under.
When I graduated from college in 1995 there was still a swimming requirement. As part of water safety instructor class, I worked with a few people who couldn't swim. Just getting them in the water and their hair wet was a challenge. But I got one guy swimming.
I lifeguarded at a water park in Allentown, PA in the summer of 1995. The park got busloads of people from both inner city Philly as well as NYC. I don't even know how many people came up to me when I was at the 12' pool and asked, "Do you float after you go down the slides?" Nearly every day I had at least 1 save there, many times 3 or 4.
