I meant to add this link to my previous post.

There are many good videos on youtube about rip currents, how to spot them and how to respond if you are caught in one.

videos about “reading” a beach for the ocean floor contours for surf fishing are also very helpful.

A previous post mentioned the Boy Scouts. I was a boy scout and learned about water safety while earning my swimming merit badge. One requirement for earning the badge was a one mile open water swim. I swam my mile in the Lake at Goshen scout camp in Virginia. I’ve been swimming regularly ever since.
