@greene Thanks, but really, I’m just passing it along, as are all the people boosting this post. It *is* good advice, though!
I grew up very close to a beach and learned this as a little kid. Most people don’t grow up near beaches and, too often, don’t learn it. Hence my eagerness to pass it along — it really can save your life, and it’s stupidly easy (though counterintuitive).

@marcas Unfamiliarity and lack of information can be so dangerous. I’m a highly experienced river swimmer and thus excellent at handling river currents, but they behave *so* differently from ocean currents, and I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve been in the ocean. Being informed makes me feel a bit less leery of going to a beach for a swim.
