[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just recently a tv journalist put himself in a rip tide to show. He also had an expert with him. This expert explained why parallel isn’t always correct/-or if it is, you have to choose the right direction.[/quote] I’ve also read that sometimes it’s best to not swim at all. Just let the rip current carry you out and eventually bring you back to shore (because apparently rip currents curve back to the shore). [/quote] Right just float and save energy. As a scout I did a mile swim in open water and you often take breaks with a deadman’s float then catch your breath and swim some more. Maybe it’s time to normalize life jackets when swimming in the ocean? [/quote] Or simply don't swim on a beach with no lifeguards and posted red flags. And with a child, such a poor decision.[/quote] Oh no - - here we go…. It was bound to happen. It always does in this forum > sooner or later someone begins playing the “blame” game. 😤 Malcom’s death was an accident - pure and simple. A tragedy but an accident nonetheless. What good does pointing fingers do at this point in time??[/quote] There but for the grace of God go I. I've swum on many beaches without lifeguards, and I don't regret it. The ocean is powerful and a marvel and this could happen to any of us who go into the ocean. He did what most people who travel and adventure and swim in the ocean would have done. Rip tides happen in many different settings and it is not his fault he got pulled out by one. My wife got sucked into the ocean in a rip tide in Ecuador and thankfully the life guards pulled her in. Malcolm Jamal Warner's death was tragic. And when he died he was doing something many of us have done or would do. We all wish he would have stayed on the beach that day. It's a normal part of grief, but he made a very typical choice.[/quote]
