Well, when we were body surfing in California, we noticed we were drifting a little farther away from my Mom and Dad. Not farther into sea, but farther down the shore. We hardly noticed and were fine about it, till a life guard in a dark red car drove onto the shore and spoke into a blow horn. We couldn't understand what he was saying at first, but assumed he was talking to us so we got to shore and went up to them.
They told us we were drifting towards a rip tide that was usually at the spot we were going to. He told us to stay at a certain area and to keep watch were we were going! I was so relived and thankful he was able to warn us! IT is there job, but im still happy anyways. He probably stopped a near death experience because we knew nothing about escaping one!
After he left, Sarah and i went to find my Mom and Dad and told then about it. i said to them, "When we saw the waves coming from the side, we were like so cool, but we didn't know it was pushing us to our death!'
My parents had an eye on us the whole time ,b ut had no idea there was a rip tide that we were getting closer to!
So if you're ever going to go swimming, surfing, etc in the ocean, you should probably learn how to escape a rip tide or any other natural ocean disasters for your safety! And yes, i need to too!
Have fun and keep safe!
