I've heard of something like this before. I grew up near a "mysterious lake".
Strange but interesting - stratified warm water layer at the surface can make it very difficult to swim (and even cuts the speed of power boats).

Amazing illustration of a subtle but dangerous effect that can happen when you swim in calm, cold water on a warm day. I've never experienced it, but my old swim coach tells a great story about an ocean race he was in several years ago: a tough few miles in water like this, should have been a breeze for him, ended up putting some fellow swimmers in serious danger.

Quoted: もう一度繰り返しておこう
この国は「膨大な無駄で生きている」ということを。
本当に無駄を省いて資金を捻出し、底辺の人を救いたいと思うなら、覚悟が必要なのは水色の人達だ。少なくとも両方の手に持つその貯蓄袋の一つは手放す必要がある。持ち家か、子供の大学進学か、安定した老後か、そのうちのひとつくらいは諦める必要がある。
「仕分けられる」のは、私であり、あなたなのだ。

Maybe this is related to the Bermuda triangle? At the end, science always triumphs!
Interesting idea about the Bermuda triangle - I never thought of that angle!
