I just had an Aha! Moment. I more deeply understand the absurdity of calling it "drowning while swimming" after reading this one. The guy knows how to swim, he's observed in the act of swimming, and then he drops down. This isn't drowning after all. It's dying while swimming. But that's wrongthink or wrongspeak. Only the new meanings, new thought new terminology is allowed. It's becoming more and more Orwellian.

17 years old. It's hard to believe that all of these healthy young people are walking around with "undiagnosed heart issues". Athletes have to undergo physicals to participate.
