JAKARTA - A number of boys chose to swim in the middle of the flood that occurred in Rawajati Village, Pancoran District, South Jakarta, Tuesday, March 4, with water levels up to three meters.
"It's really fun to be able to swim," said one of the children named Rizky when met by ANTARA at the location.
The children looked cheerful while playing with the water. Without fear of getting dirty or sick, they looked bare-chested dividing the flood like the "excess".
Some of them wear buoys and helmets as their means of swimming.
On the side of the road, parents can be seen watching and other small children can only see while playing with water in a higher place.
"Don't play with water, these kids are really brave," said a mother named Rahma.

A number of South Jakarta Fire and Rescue (Gulkarmat) officers deployed rubber boats to help evacuate residents who were still trapped in their homes.
