You’re welcome, Amy! I’m so glad you and your kids found it helpful! If your kids are interested in lifeguards, many organizations have Junior Lifeguard programs. I was an instructor for LACO. Call or google your local lifeguard organization to find out more 🙂

We go to the beach almost everyday, but there were so many things I did not know which were all helpful. I really appreciated your information. Thank you!

Thanks for stopping by Cosmo! [Cosmo is an LACO Ocean Lifeguard Specialist] And thanks for the excellent video on rip current safety. Hope you’ve been keeping those beaches safe without me 😉

Great article! I like when you emphasize the difference between the deep inshore holes where you cant touch or stand up, versus safely bouncing across the shallow sandbar. I have received some good feedback from this Rip Current Safety video:

We are headed to South Carolina in two weeks to go to the ocean. It’s a big family event and there will be 9 kids there under the age of 13. These are really good tips especially knowing they came from a lifeguard that knows! Thank you so much!
