They need to have make swimming lessons available for all kids in the NYC schools. Too many teens are drowning at the beaches.

The Hudson is NOT a place to go swimming. The river has a very strong current, is dirty with a lot of garbage in it. People think if they can swim a couple of laps in a pool that they can jump in anywhere. It just doesn’t work that way!

So many ppl drowning at the beaches. It’s sad

[paulgrimaldi]

People drown too easily. It's like they forget to simply float on your back!

I keep saying it, always wear a life jacket, they're not expensive. I keep one in my bag for emergencies.

If only some of you would use some reasoning to deduct that perhaps he was not mentally well... he was a good guy who lost his way. Have some empathy!

He was my cousin Amaury, why? too sad for us. I can’t believe it!😔

It take 13 min to down, 7 long minutes to go unconscious. They were 3 min lates to being able to revive him. If they made it sooner he would have a chance. 15 min hes brain dead, water is already in the brain. Rest In Peace 🙏

There are public pools in Manhattan and the Bronx. There’s also a public beach in the Bronx.
