    So many young lives lost to drowning. Swimming classes should be a mandatory part of primary education as it is in so many parts of the world.

    Never play in deep water, if you don't know swimming. Water does does not give one more than 5 minutes & no second chance. Parents should take more responsibility & learning swimming should me made compulsory in schools.

    They were not playing in deep waters. It was an undetected deep hole which unfortunately no body suspected was there.. It was considered safe place to play around.
