You can swim without lifeguards. I’ve done it many times. You just have to be extra viligent. Also, understand how the ocean works. There is always counter flow current from the waves -you have to stay above that. Rip tides -if you don’t fight them you don’t have to worry. If it pulls you out to sea and it’s too strong to swim straight back to land, swim in a diagonal course. Of course before you jump in, make sure the water is calm. You don’t want to be swimming in big waves like we’ve seen with Earl. The body floats, but when there are a lot of waves the water can crash over your head. If you can’t swim without lifeguards -how can the lifeguard swim to save you -who will rescue him? Kids need lifeguards.
