That’s really sad, he was still so young. RIP.

Good swimmers don't usually drown, they have some other event that stops them from being able to swim.
If Mallett was still in good shape, then I wonder if something else happened.
Athletes, as they age, can become overconfident as well, so who knows for sure.
