Sadly, on the first holiday weekend of summer a man drowned on 10th street at the oceanfront. This is an area with lifeguards-but they can only do so much. Swimmers must educate themselves on the dangers of the ocean and how to remain safe. Being a good swimmer is not enough-the ocean is not a swimming pool or lake. Below are some sites that offer information on rip currents.
