The phrase comes from everyday Indonesian, where ga bawa baju renang simply means did not bring a swimsuit. As a short isolated voice clip it circulated on user soundboards and in chat apps as a ready made reaction, detached from any longer video or known speaker. Its appeal is the universal embarrassment of being unprepared at the pool, so creators reuse it for holiday clips, school swimming scenes, and friendship group chats where someone always forgets something important for the plan.
