[quote=Anonymous]Growing up I spent a lot of time swimming and playing in the ocean. We still vacation at the same beach I grew up visiting, but I feel like the rip currents have become stronger and more regular than when I was a child. About 10 years ago, my brother and I (both in our 20s) had to swim out and help my dad, who was on a boogie board and couldn't navigate the current. Brother and I were both strong swimmers and it was still physically demanding for us to swim out and bring him back. That experience, plus personally knowing a man who drowned due to a rip current recently, have really made me less interested in swimming in the ocean.[/quote]
