I had to be rescued once from a deep swimming hole in the Ozarks before I learned to swim.  I was fortunate that there was an older teen nearby that was a good swimmer.  I've been to the Columbia River Gorge and I can't imagine anyone swimming there.

I only found out the other year that I almost drowned as a littleun. Kids were not watched every minute of the day back when.

Fascinating! Among other things it reminded me of my own 'drowning experience', LOL...
