When you start to be pulled out to sea your first instinct is to panic and you get worn out trying to swim out of it. That’s when it gets you.

And panic is a real thing you can’t control. If you can gather your wits before fighting too much, you can probably swim out of it.
I grew up on a lake, been swimming since I was 5, and damn near drown after falling out of a boat a few yrs ago. Literally forgot how to swim for a good 5 seconds head bobbing and gasping for air before realizing I was a goner if I didn’t calm down and lay back to float. Scary shite bro.

Happened to me when I was younger. Luckily I had a boogie board to hang onto but damn I was exhausted. I was not informed on what a rip tide is and how to get out of it. I was so confused that I was swimming so hard and not going anywhere. Next thing I knew I was worn out and just drifting. Luckily a lifeguard spotted me and got me out.
I am a strong swimmer too. I was just not knowledgeable about rip tides at my young age.
