Someone who cannot swim would be less likely to go in water.

I would think that someone who actually IS an experienced swimmer would be less likely to go in the water. An experienced swimmer knows how reckless that would be.
The non-swimmer/less experienced swimmer wouldn't realize the dangers

The guy in question was or is a lifeguard. Whether he was drunk or not, he may have known not to go in.

He definitely should have known better then.

the guy who was certified at age 15 to oversee his neighborhood pool? That guy, drunk - you'd rely on him to exercise good judgment?

Unlike "suspect" and "material witness," "person of interest" has no legal definition, but generally refers to someone law enforcement authorities would like to speak with or investigate further in connection with a crime. It may be used, rather than calling the person a suspect, when they don't want their prime suspect to know they're watching him closely.

Why are you having to point out her ethnicity? Is there any other girl in the story?

Because a lot of foreign born Asians don't know how to swim. Swimming is not part of Asian schooling curriculum like it is in VA public schools.
My Asian roommate in grad school could not swim, ride a bike or drive. Those are considered essential life skills here, but not in Asia. Some parents might teach their kids but more likely, the kid masters them on their own.

Swimming is not part of VA public school curriculum. That is entirely on the family to teach.

- signed a VA public school grad with two VA public school teenagers.

Swimming has NOTHING to do with this BUT you are wrong. Our NOVA schools systems have swimming in elementary school and high school.

They certainly do but. I teach in the school system. You’re a troll.

Certainly do NOT. Typo. Swimming is absolutely not part of VA curriculum. How stupid to even think that.

DP. Maybe the poster who thought so lives in a district that does have swimming in curriculum? Other counties in VA do not.

We're talking about the county that the victim lives in.

the missing person lived in Pittsburg prior to her trip. You're talking about PA ?

Kids do dumb sh!t on spring break. I also did incredibly stupid stuff in Daytona Beach in 1996. Most people get lucky, she didn't.

It's predominantly one YOU pp who must be part of the family community in some way but absolutely refuses to accept this "logical" explanation, even as a possibility. It's beyond comprehension to her that the victim here may have made some unwise decisions (or that she drank alcohol or may have been drunk). So she continuously attempts to divert the thread with conspiracy theories, mostly naming and pointing to the guy. The other group are true crime junkies.

Don't give up your day job. No one has put any conspiracy theories if you read most of these posts. Nor has only one poster pointed to the guy. He is just one of a few possiblities to what may have happened. People have asked what about her friends too. Did they do something foul leading up to the early morning? Do YOU know?
