    Rip currents kill so many people, that sucks. I’ve been caught in one before and while it was scary I remembered how to get away from the current before swimming back in, but even experienced swimmers can drown in the right circumstances. 54 is just way too young to go.

      Same , I hit one in Hawaii , before I knew it the beach looked like ants on it. I had to calm down and swim horizontal to get out of it. Never panic.
