I belonged to a canoe club. We could all swim, were trained and wore buoyancy aids. Still two died in stopper waves. Looks like this would have been the case at the bottom of the waterfall. Not to.mention rocks etc.
So yes everyone should be able to swim but I am not sure it would have made any difference here
Flash flood is nothing like a rip tide. You get thrown on or under the rocks, try swimming when you are knocked out. I used to live by the sea side where we had massive storms, rip tides are pretty easy to handle if you know what you are doing.
If you haven't seen a flash flood try going to the mountains when there is a big storm.
RIP.
RIP. what's up with the background music?
