Now the sages, peace be on them, explained several notions by means of this parable; one of them being that he who knows how to swim brings up pearls from the bottom of the sea, whereas he who does not know, drowns. For this reason, no one should expose himself to the risks of swimming unless he has been trained in learning how to swim.

Guide of the Perplexed, I, ch. 34 by Maimonides
