Water (unless pure H2O) is
an excellent conductor of electric current. During thunderstorms lightning may hit the water and any swimmer in it may suffer injuries, even if the lightning does not strike the swimmer directly.

Thunderstorms can produce lightning that can hit the water and sometimes can produce an electric shock in water currents. Anything near the lightning shock can get killed by the thunderstorm. Also, thunderstorms near the ocean can produce really big and heavy waves or currents that can drown a person swimming in the ocean. It is just like common sense.
