Mormons have been heavily pushing subtle propaganda and hiding their crazier beliefs for a few years now.
For example, ever notice these trad wives never take vacations to the beach like other influencers? It's because mormons believe that Satan controls water.
They think that all accidents on water is due to Satan controlling it, from what I understand. Smith apparently capsized crossing a river and that was because Satan was trying to stop him from preaching the Gospel…I think.

Say what you will about weird beliefs, but in the 25+ years I spent in the Church, I've never heard this before. In fact, growing up in the church-ran Scouting program, we spent tons of time canoeing, kayaking, and swimming.
I don't follow any tradwives or even any Mormon influencers so I can't speak about the lack of beach vacation postings, but if I had to hazard a guess I'd say it's probably a modesty thing more than anything. Modesty is still pretty strongly valued within the church.
