[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As for boomers and Gen Xers, most of us have never recovered from seeing Jaws in our youth. [/quote] I was going to post this is the NUMBER 1 reason. I still hear that sound track when underwater in an ocean or lake. I swim a lot wherever I go; kids spend the entire beach trip in ocean jumping in waves and boogie boarding. It’s not much more risky than the drive to the beach if you are on a guarded beach with adult supervision It’s funny people complain about east coast beaches; the water is fairly warm especially in July/Aug and refreshing in our hot humid climate. I think on West coast only surfers in wet suits get in the water — LA beaches are pretty scenery not for swimming. I’m sure warm water places like Hawaii or Florida get more people in the water too[/quote]
