Do you know how to swim in the ocean?

grew up swimming out of riptides and relaxing during undertows. it's sad when tourists come and don't know how and end up drowning

I was a mermaid when I was younger 🧜🏼‍♀️

I know how to swim,i didn't realize swimming in the ocean made a difference. ???

Yeah, grew up by the beach.
I'm not as fit as I once was, but then survival swimming in the ocean isn't so much about fitness as it is about using the tide and flow to your advantage.
It's more about going with ...or under the water, than fighting against it , like a sail boat tacks with th wind.

Those waves will get you.

Yes and almost died from being dragged by waves. I didn't realize how far I was going until I look back far away from the shore. In my mind


...don't or drop your ball and drown.

I swim back much as possible without stopping. When made it to shore. I was huffing deeply. I was sick from too much alcohol and puking. Yep........

Yep, except for the waves being like a banillion miles high in which case im drowneded

I grew up on the coast, so you learn to deal with waves, undertow, etc.

no, but I imagine it's probably pretty easy if you have a yacht... 🤔

once upon a time i was regular in sea so i am confident about it

I'm too afraid of sea creatures to attempt it

I know how to float when I'm too tired to swim!

I love the ocean. Swim and scuba dive in it.

They teach you drown proofing in the
Marine Corps

I ran away from the fishes soooo...

I've only been to the ocean once.

no never.. there is no need

I do often

Done it before

Sure.... in games

Yes 🤙🏻

Yes.

The big question is, do you know how to swim again a rip tide.

I almost got pulled out by a riptide when I was seven, I was hanging on for dear life on a rock until my Dad could get to me.
