Growing up in Hawaii and spending a lot of time in the ocean spear fishing and surfing I would have to say rip currents pose the biggest threat to swimmers.

Good tip, have a flotation device. Everyone should know how to float and tread water.

I was a lifeguard and the rule of thumb is save yourself first. Ensure you can stay up and swim away when they try to get too close. Tell them to stay calm. But you come first.

Also try to read the waves and learn to go with the waves

But i thought the running joke is that ⚪️⚪️ know how to swim, and ⚫️⚫️ don't? I guess the curses truly are turning upon the gentile nations 😂

IN AFRICA NOBODY GOES ALL THE WAY IN THE WATER UNTIL THOSE KIDS COME TO AMERICA !

[@nixwestlake9196]

No. Your collection of African countries just force children to dive in dangerous waters for shells, oysters etc at 4am. You cut up albinos for potions, mutilate women’s genitals…shall I go on? 🤔 I have not even scratched the surface
