Series of Unfortunate Events

I read an article today which is really sad - a tragic story of a woman caught in a rip. Her husband swam out after her to save her and both perished leaving their three children on the beach to watch, unable to save them. You can read the whole story here

The beach can be a dangerous place with jelly fish, rips and other dangers. Remember when caught in a rip, swim sideways along the beach. You may end up a kilometre down the beach, but far easier to walk back than to exhaust yourself trying any other way.
