In the summer of 2018, two people drowned at Buntzen Lake near Vancouver, and there was a very close call for another person at Hayward Lake. Both areas have BC Hydro facilities nearby and as a result, the utility undertook a survey about swimmers, the problems they get into and why. One of the key findings was overconfidence. Eighty five per cent of the people think of themselves as being experienced swimmers but only go swimming a few times a year.
