I know they were in a martial arts club outing,
but you would have thought that learning to swim
would be important than learning to punch people.
may they're souls rest in peace.

You have to be aware that lakes can, and do, 'shelve'. these lakes are water filled valleys, they often lap high fells. If you look around these fells they can have very steep cliff like faces, that is what the lake bed is like in places. It can go from very shallow to 70 m in a few sort strides. A French back-packer was lost when walking across the the 'Scree's' on the side of Wastwater, she was found on a rock shelf 25 m under water, still with her back pack on. She had slipped from the path. Walker and swimmers beware!

They were non swimmers....
Lake Ullswater was the scene of the death of three youths from Wolverhampton on the 23rd September 2006. Harvinder Singh, aged 15, Satvir Singh, 17, and 21-year-old Tajinder Singh all drowned as they went for a short swim in the lake. Initially they were without difficulty as they waded through shallow waters but as they moved into deeper water the three were unable to overcome the cold waters and sadly died. A fourth member of their party survived as he was plucked from the water by other tourists.

Wow, that's tragic. This is the first I've heard of this incident. I am not right in thinking that Ullswater has some serious undertows in it's current that have caused drownings there before? I went to school nearby and distinctly remember being told we shouldn't swim in Ullswater.

It's not so much the undertows, but the sudden shelves, and extreme low temperatures of the lower water. Shock kicks in and even an average swimmer would be in trouble.

Makes you wonder why they went in water in first place if they couldn't swim. Everybody knows how dangerous it is to swim out of your depth, even more so in a river or lake. Are there no signs telling people not to swim in Ullswater Lake?

Also, wasn't there some talk of them getting entangled in their turbans?
Their poor families ...
