      Curious how common swimming lessons for kids are in all the countries. I know that for the Netherlands, the most drownings are not Dutchies. (But mostly immigrants and tourists). Because of the amount of water, swimming lessons for young kids are part of the culture in the Netherlands.

      Where’s „in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea“. Oh wait, that isn’t accidental.

      it would be very interesting to see how many drowned in their home country vs visiting as tourists, and if it was a cannot swim or too drunk etc

      It’s sad how many people die in Germany in rivers and lakes because they go swimming drunk, unaware of how strong river currents are or jump in from high spots without knowing what’s under the water surface. Children drown in public pools while hundreds of people are around them and their parents are playing mobile games or watching tiktok videos.

      Don’t ever compete with others (or yourself) to swim across a lake or across a river. Distances in bodies of water are usually vastly underestimated and when you’re realizing that you can’t make it while you’re in the middle of the lake or river…you dead.

      France is the #1 tourist country. In summer a lot of people enjoy refreshing water activity, for some it’s a rare occurence of even their first time. And also, france has ~~the most~~ (not sure) a **high** number of private swimming pool per capita in europe. Ergo : drowning.

      Would be interesting if demographic stats were available, I feel it would help pinpoint where the issues are. Here in Finland we have pretty decent swimming curriculum in schools but lots of our foreigners from africa & ME dont necessarily know how to swim which can be problematic.

      Just a couple weeks ago, we had 2 or 3 parentless immigrants kids who wanted to join in on the fun in the water and just immediately drowned, tragic story.

      At the same time there’s tons of drunk finns drowning in lakes, so im curious where the split is.

      This table is a little meaningless considering every nation has different population sizes. It would be better to display this as 1 for every X or in %.

      Apparently in France, locals on vacation and tourists from abroad, have now become less careful and show weaker self-preservation instincts than we used to see

      It’s real and not just a beach problem, I can see that myself living in a tourism-attractive locality, having personally picked up lost hikers at night in the – dangerous – mountains where I live, and seeing the rescue helicopter flying by more often than ever in the past years and even decades (sometimes bringing back a corpse) edit: they are also being very imprudent bathing at rivers and gorges, more and more accidents

      They have no fucking idea what they’re doing, zero preparedness, equipment, and danger awareness. They seem so casual that us locals are also worried they could quite likely start wildfires (very serious topic here)

      Too much modern IQ-draining like e.g TikTok brainwashing ? not sure, that carelessness seems to be shared evenly among age categories… so idk, ppl have become weird and worrisome, dumber and more aggressive too because they don’t like to be lectured despite them obviously being the ones messing around and creating trouble

      I can only witness it and wonder : what the Hell are ppl thinking ? ¯\(º_o)/¯
