Think of your favorite beaches. Your favorite hotel pools. Favorite lakes. Everywhere you love to swim. What makes them great? Is it the color of the water? Or maybe it’s the perfect temperature. Maybe you can even swim with dolphins. But what about all of the places that you can’t go to? Or the places where you can but should absolutely never swim in? Like the waters of the world full of massive predators like sharks or crocodiles. Or the places that are just so polluted or teeming with strange bacteria? Join us for today’s video, as we count down the top 15 places where you should absolutely never swim!

If you are ever in a rip-current DO NOT swim towards the beach (it is impossible to outswim the current and you will only tire yourself out), but swim PARALLEL to the beach until you get out of the rip-current and only then swim towards the beach.

That doesn’t make you any better than anyone else. It’s called knowing your area, it’s common everywhere in the world. A great example, I have family in hawaii, I was just there last month and I remember actually getting to go out at night and walk without bear spray and a gun . Where I’m from we don’t do that, you have not a drop of wildlife that will harm you. Last year my family from hawaii came to visit me. I live in bear country, along with a large mountain lion population. I told my family when they came to visit, don’t leave anything in your rental car I have a bear that frequents my property, it’ll fu@k up your rental car for any food. We’ll these Hawaiians have no clue the danger of wildlife, what did they do? They left food in the damn car. The bear tore that shit up! To this day no locals have had their car mauled by a bear, but those naïve Hawaiians sure as hell did. 😂 You know your area..I know mine.

I envy the Hawaiians having no predators (edit: except for pit bulls, which are responsible for far more maulings and deaths in the USA than wild predators).

One other dangerous beach is Grenen in Denmark. Grenen meaning "the branch" in the town Skagen is located at the tip of the country, where the beach has a unique natural phenomenon, where the two seas Skagerrak and Kattegat meet and the waves culminate with each other. It has therefore become illegal to swim there, because it's extremely dangerous because of the oceans colliding.

The box jellyfish is very dangerous for sure but Queenslanders can usually safely swim in the waters because the jellyfish stay up north and are seasonal. Plus all surfers and divers wear stinger suits to protect them from all jellyfish stings. We were mandated to wear stinger suits that covered our hands and feet when we went diving in the Great Barrier Reef.

@gabriellelister7669 11 месяцев назад

That’s super cool! I knew there were Chain suits to prevent shark attacks but never anti-sting gear.

@nelliemilne1724 11 месяцев назад

But we don't swim off the mainland beaches in the summer bc that's maily where the jellyfish are. And also the irukandji are the size of a pinky nail so the stinger suits don't do much. Generally the outer reef is safer

No, from October to May there's no swimming because of stingers (jellyfish) and those horrid, tiny Irukanji Jellyfish.

It’s nice to see Australia making these lists and as an Australian, it amuses me that people from overseas think every animal here is out to get you. I’ve never even seen half of our dangerous animals in the wild let alone been bitten by them. It’s just common sense really, have your wits about you, leave them alone and they’ll leave you alone. I grew up on the south coast of NSW, and used to go swimming at our local rock pool with waves spilling into the pool at high tide. It was scary but fun and in my opinion the only pool to swim in.

I spent a week in Broome, Western Australia and Cable Beach is stunning. We went most days - especially to stay to watch the sunsets over the Indian Ocean which were amazing. I went in the ocean a couple of times, but only a few metres. I really wouldn't recommend going further out as there can be big waves and there are salt water crocodiles for part of the year as the video says. There is also a possibility of sharks (which crazily I didn't really think of at the time). However, the most dangerous thing I saw was a sea snake washed up on the shore which a man coming in the opposite direction warned me about when I was walking along the shore line.

I grew up in the Bay Area in the 60s, and we didn't know about sharks then, the only people telling us about the ocean was Jaque Cousteau. If you remember him, you know what I mean....every year a shark attacked someone, but we had been told great whites don't come into cold water (?!?). I have no idea why we believed it, but until the movie JAWS came out, we had no info on sharks at all. We used to body surf and swim with seals at Santa Cruz, having no idea that sharks would be likely around for some seal meat! After the movie came out, we were all scared!

@gabriellelister7669 11 месяцев назад

I wouldn’t necessarily call jaws a piece of nonfiction either. It’s impact on shark population has been severe. It exaggerated the violence a standard shark displays to a point where a MOVIE inspired people to hunt sharks for fun. That’s what’s led Steven Spielberg to regret making jaws and he’s also made shark documentaries to shine a more positive and realistic light on sharks. People forget the increase in shark attacks is due to a massive loss in their food supply.

When we were in Maui, we went to the "blow hole" a lava formation that waves went into and shot out like a huge fountain. The danger was the air after the wave would be so strong that if you stood too close to the hole, you'd get sucked down thru it and drown, since it would be like a bug in an agitating washing machine, just getting thrown around until you're torn apart. Hawaii doesn't use much signage, to not ruin views, but they had a huge sign about the blowhole, in five languages, warning people to stay away from the blowhole, and to keep children and pets close, which of course everyone ignores, leading to many drownings. We witnessed adults letting their kids run right up to the lava ledge, it was terrifying!

But Gun Beach can be tricky for some. If you don't pay attention to the currents & tide (and any local storm activity) you can get dragged around. I lost count of the number of tourists who needed to be rescued by the Coast Guard when I lived there. It probably belongs on this list.

We've been going to Kauai for 20 years. One reason IMHO the waters/beaches are dangerous is the island's position in the chain. There are "safe" spots but there's one that even sounds ominous. Its on the northern end. The retreating wave gets overrun by the incoming wave and for 5 to 8 seconds it sounds like a huge fabric tarp is being ripped apart. I've only seen local kids in that bay but they stay in a narrow area by cliff. Personally I stay out of the waters around Kauai. The other islands seem to have safer beaches.

Video is being hyperbolic Boiling lakes are far more terrifying. ...The Bay Area is well known for surfing, and many locals surf daily / all the time. Yes, there are definitely several sharks and shark sightings. But it's not like dipping your toe in the water is going to turn you into mincemeat. Great Whites don't tend to go after humans. They like seals, and have sometimes been known to take a curious "nibble" at a surfboard, because they look like seals from underneath. (They don't have stellar eyesight.) But once they realize it's not a delicious fatty seal, they usually leave surfers alone (albeit, near cardiac arrest). Locals never use the term "red triangle." Sure sounds scary and mysterious, tho! The tech bro invasion in the Bay Area was way scarier -- causing evictions, jacking up prices, and bro-washing away all the culture. ...And if I had to choose between sharks and tech bros -- at least great whites are cool, athletic, and interesting.

Bondi Baths are not the slightest bit dangerous. In Australia we have pools built into rocks on lots of beaches, they are kept clean by the waves pushing water in and out over the edges at high tide. Much safer than swimming in the ocean especially if you have kids. All the fun of the beach without as much swimming danger.

I am super shocked that lake Lanier in Buford Georgia USA didn’t make this list. That’s great plains a minimum of 3 to 5 lives every single year from drowning to accidents, including ushers, son, and also one of my closest friends recently. It’s a man-made lake, and it is said to be cursed and haunted due to the land. The lake was made on and a town that is at the bottom that was flooded to make it when Lakeland near Buford Dam was built. There is also a horror movie about the lake that is about to be released soon.

Right?? That's a bit extreme. I've dove the Blue Hole, and it is not scary at all.

@Raiya_ru17 Год назад

Because you will never swim in an obviously polluted river right? We have lots of polluted sewers and rivers like less than a kilometer from my house and no one in their right mind will swim there. Lol even our infamous Manila Bay is something no one will dare to swim except the crazy people living near that area. That deep blue hole is obviously an open swimming area and people just need to avoid diving below that hole. They can still swim on the other shallow parts, just like in other waterfalls and rivers with deep parts.

That information about Galveston is completely wrong. The reason it looks the way it does is because of the runoff from the muddy Mississippi River into the Gulf of Mexico. It is not because of sewage. Any quick google search will tell you this.

For the record Bondi Beach iceberg pool is not dangerous at all. Yes it’s a salt water pool fed by the ocean and it’s well maintained. It’s a fee paid visit and has a Sauna with glass views if the ocean. One of the levels a lovely restaurant with endless view of the ocean When the surf is rough and high and a total wash out the pool is closed. This pool has surf life savers watching out, like every pool. I haven’t heard of sharks washing in the pool and I don’t doubt that it could of happened but it’s not a regular thing. The reason it’s called the icebergs is that the all year swimmers once a year fill the pool with ice in the water and swim about . It’s very funny. I’m from Sydney, Australia and this is fact. This video has exaggerated and damaging. Come swim at Bondi it’s beautiful just be sure to swim between the flags or the rips and currents will wash you up elsewhere and tourists always disobey the flags. Our life savers are world class.

As a South Texas girl the incredible canyon lakes and rivers are so enticing when it's over 100 degrees out. The Guadalupe River in New Braunfels is where I spent much of my youth, tubing in the crystal clear canyon banked spring fed river. It's so cold people actually get hypothermia if they aren't careful and keep enough of their skin out of the water for the heat to prevent it. Galveston breaks my heart! What have these environmenal regulation -cutting jerks done to that beautiful state who's people are nothing like their stupid politicians that somehow keep getting elected...don't get me started
