For France it’s the immigrants trying to reach UK?
Surprised to see Czechia on the plot
I think it’s time to ban water.
Wouldn’t this make more sense on a per capita basis?
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.

Men really need to learn how to swim.
Where’s “in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea”. Oh wait, that isn’t accidental.
*insert gif of long distance swimmers puking in Paris
now the UK wants to ban water
I am surprised by the vast majority of them being men.
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 %.
Italy is clearly an outlier in relative terms? Why is that?
