@liton11432 And the water is warm, rip currents rarely carry you more than a mile before returning to shore. Just keep your head above water, and only inhale when your airway is protected from any waves for the duration of your inhale. If you don’t know proper breath control you must learn before doing any ocean swimming without a lifeguard. But as a competitive swimmer I’ve always self extricated from a rip I never needed fire or EMS to do it for me
Well your one of the lucky ones, others haven't mastered that technique yet??????
Update they’re both safe hopefully in good condition at hospital
Great, thank you🙏🏾
Please, please, please, why do y'all constantly wanna mess with that damn Ocean? It's Beautiful just to stand there and look at it. You have a choice, not to go in...
And when caught in a rip, just remember what you were taught when you were in kindergarten or whenever you first learned proper technique: blow bubbles below water and make sure to always BREATHE OUT when struck by a wave. Ideally you should see the wave and turn your head so you take in any breaths with the water hitting the back of your head (vs entering your airway). Yes you can turn your head and breathe to the left or the right in breaststroke to avoid aspirating on a mistimed breath. When everything else is chaotic, it’s still all about Airway Breathing Circulation (treading water)
Who in the world got time to remember the time, when your panicking in the water...
