We need to normalize wearing life jackets while swimming in the ocean, at resorts, and in most aquatic environments.

Recently, I visited the ocean at a resort, where I saw many tourists, including families with young children, swimming in the ocean. For many, this may be their first time in open water, yet no one suggests wearing a life jacket. Swimming in the ocean is dangerous.

Sadly, some people go on vacation and return with the heartbreaking loss of a loved one. Life jackets save lives. Even if you’re a strong swimmer, a life jacket could be the difference between life and death in situations like rip tides or unforeseen accidents. For your safety and the safety of your loved ones, always wear one.

wow, thats so sad and crazy, 6 meter wave. That almost happened to me too years ago, Unless you're grown up around the ocean you don't realize how fast the waves come in, even walking around the shore line is dangerous. No one told me, luckily there was a big rock saved us because we stood on it,

I don't like the ocean. It's too scary.

There are some videos people post of “find the drowning person” (in for example a public pool). It’s not the person screaming and arms flapping. It’s practically invisible
