## Summary

A 38-year-old man and a 40-year-old woman from the United States drowned while swimming off Bimini in the Bahamas on Friday. The deaths have renewed local concerns about water safety, as the pair were caught in rough seas and strong currents near warnings advising swimmers to stay out of the water.

The group was swimming near the entrance to Bimini Harbour when a nearby ferry rescued several people; the two victims were unresponsive before it arrived. They received CPR and were taken to a clinic, where they were pronounced dead shortly before 4pm. Police are investigating, with an autopsy planned and no foul play suspected. Their deaths follow the drowning of British tourist Leanne Gregory on Bimini on 20 October.
