Felch says that lifeguards are trained to see the signs of distress if any drownings happen. But just last weekend no one saw those signs. Two people drowned near Shore Drive, where there are no lifeguards around.

"Don't overestimate your swimming ability," said Felch.

Felch also says a lot of people like to walk on the sand bars, but those can be dangerous. Just last week, lifeguards at the Oceanfront reunited 60 kids with their families and rescued 18 swimmers.

"What will happen is you'll have a quick drop off where the sandbars ended and it's back to deep water," said Felch.

On some days, the currents are deadly if you aren't a professional swimmer.
