One of the rescuers said he didn’t run out of oxygen but there was a malfunction. Another source said he hit his head and he fell unconscious. We’ll never know what really happened.

A Thai official has said that some members of the boys soccer team trapped in the flooded Tham Luang Cave network dont know how to swim, further complicating the rescue effort. That may surprise people from countries where swim lessons are a rite of passage for most children. But in Southeast Asia, not knowing how to swim is normal. A key reason is that many mothers in the region believe that teaching their children to swim will increase the risk of them drowning, said Michael Linnan, the technical director at the Alliance for Safe Children, an Atlanta-based nonprofit that has worked extensively in the region. Dr. Linnan said it was not uncommon to see rates of swimming in low- and middle-income countries that is well below 20 percent, even among sailors, fishermen and others who earn their living on the water.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/08/world/asia/thailand-cave-rescue-live-updates.html
