"On December 17, 1967, Australian Prime Minister Harold Holt disappeared while swimming in rough conditions at Cheviot Beach near Portsea, Victoria. Holt was accompanied by four friends when he went for a quick swim before lunch, but was never seen again."
A quick swim that lasts the rest of your life isn't very quick and if you die then your swim wasn't really before lunch. Edit: maybe if your friends don't skip lunch
