According to reports, none of the children know how to swim or dive, and will apparently have to learn if they plan on getting out of the cave within in the next few months.

Rescue teams have sent the kids food and clean water, and are pumping gallons of water out of the cave each day, in hopes of lowering the tide. Since rain is expected to fall in the next few weeks, however, they are suggesting the group wait inside the cave, rather than risk their lives trying to escape through the deep waters.
