One of the first swimmers out ran for the lifeguards and they did drive down the beach and administered oxygen to the inexperienced swimmer. Another thing was that I would be able to touch the ground easily then not, then be able to touch again - unrelated to the depth of the waves. It was almost as if the sand was being pulled out from under my feet when I was standing around in deeper water. The tug of the water felt different on my legs and feet. There were some signs pre-event I noticed in hindsight. Even being a good swimmer and comfortable in the water, I found it difficult to get myself to shore! Fortunately, he did not panic but used all of his swimming skills and emotional fortitude. Part of what was going on was that he did not recognize what had happened and continued to try to touch the bottom instead of starting to swim in- inexperience. He thought he was going to drown and he easily could have. (Swim parallel to the shore until you find the place where the rip current stops then head in to the shore.) One person, in particular, was not a confident swimmer and he ended up taking a lot longer to get in and almost gave up. Most of us were able to swim or be swept toward shore the way one is supposed to. It happened so fast we didn't notice until we were out there! I think we jumped a wave and were taken then. All of a sudden we weren't where we had been, we were still together but much farther out and couldn't touch the bottom any more. It was mid afternoon, the waves were large and wonderful and the water was warm. The final time was after the tide had shifted to outgoing. We had been jumping waves and body surfing all day, in and out of the water.
