LT#5 The Strong Swimmer


A good swimmer jumped from his boat in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. He swam only 100 feet from his boat and then he sank and drowned. What caused this?

Clues:
1. He did not have cramp/any physical/mental health problems.
2. The waves were very light and had no bearing on the tragedy.
3. No third party was involved and his death was not because of an attack by sharks, pirates, etc.
4. He did not get tangled in any nets/ weeds.
5. No other swimmer would have survived in his place.
6. Thw water may have been a few degrees warmer where he sank.

??? Why??

A break in the seabed released large quantities of trapped air as small bubbles.This reduced the density of the water so that it was lower than density of a human body and he sank.
