There’s a quarry in my area where you are allowed to swim; it even has a kids section. The same dangers exist, the water is cold and deep. As you enter the water from the beach, you walk out a couple yards and it drops off over 10 feet deep and you can jump from a 15 foot cliff too. They have lifeguards there, which is why swimming, cliff jumping, and SCUBA diving is allowed.

BS. Swimming in a quarry is no more dangerous than any other deep water swimming. If you can't swim, go to the beach or public pool. Don't be an idiot and get these media uber-safety fascists to ruin what us good swimmers can easily enjoy.

@leland8021 3 жыл бұрын

Tf? Quarry waters are super cold because they're fed by ground water. That's why people die. It can be shocking especially to people not ready for it and their body cramps up and they drown. This isn't a good video explaining it well at all but there are some better ones. There's a reason why more people die each summer in quarries than in normal swimming holes..

@themoviemaniac8416 3 жыл бұрын

@@leland8021 They're not any colder than any other deep water swimming, which is what I stated, and in fact the top several feet of water is very similar to lake water temps. Running streams are often colder. Maybe you'll notice I stated "good swimmers"?

@leland8021 3 жыл бұрын

@@themoviemaniac8416 good swimmers don't die here. It's inexperienced one. That's why the warning. Any good swimmer can safely ignore the warning. Easy. But when there are thousands of dumbasses who jump off cliffs into very cold water each summer. Yeah. It's unsafe. All it takes is one bad swimmer to jump in, be shocked, and drown.

@themoviemaniac8416 3 жыл бұрын

@@leland8021 That's what I said in my OP, so what's the point of your reply? Just to hear yourself think out loud? Yeah, I'm sure it's thousands each summer. More people die each year from swimming in pools, lakes or rivers, and ocean beaches in the US. I've been swimming in the type of sand quarry described. The water isn't all that cold but it's the sudden drop-offs that surprise people. If you are a lousy swimmer, stick to life-guarded areas, and leave the rest to us who can swim.

I agree with the comments. Un-lifeguarded quarries are dangerous for people with poor swimming skills (or none at all)... but so is the ocean or any lake for that matter. Somehow these officials don't think they can share information about degrees of risk with the public. Worse than that, many bodies of water are patrolled to prevent open water swimming... what a waste of taxpayer money and a disservice to the public. What not just rope off the outdoors entirely. BTW in Scotland, the public has a legal right to swim in ANY body of water including reservoirs (contrary to what most people think, swimming in a reservoir is generally not harmful to the quality of water since it is filtered before being piped in as drinking water. What a bunch of baloney we choose to live with!

Many times in 70's and 80's I swam at the Gannister Blue Hole in Williamsburg Pa. As long as you know how to swim, you are with friends and you are aware of depth and conditions of quarry you have no problems. Diving from high rocks is not recommended. Follow these simple common sense rules and you will not drown at a quarry.

I was in Zarkow quarry lakes in Manchester NJ...One afternoon in summer, 8 of us pitched tent's on one side of the lake for an overnight excursion. One couple pitched their tent on a sandy peninsula directly next to the lake. Then the skies turned dark gray and opened up upon us. It became a flash flood. I was screaming for everyone to come into "my" tent. (9 × 15 with a 7 foot high ceiling) The couple in the 2 person tent on the water's edge were reluctant to leave their own tent as it was pouring hard. AND thank God they did because this wall of water poured down from the tree's and into the lake. BUT it took about 20 feet of the shoreline with it. INCLUDING the 2 person tent that the one reluctant couple were in. They were safe but all of that sand just dissapeared and we never saw their tent again. They slept in their car that night.

It's not about being able to swim or not, it's about the depths and how deep it gets with just going out a few yards, not to mention it's so cold and people stiffing up like a quick case of hypothermia smh, and underneath is nothing but mud that is like quick sand, so many things play a part in the drownings, it's not safe people😒
