But you'd be wrong, as evidenced by the OP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No evidence that so called strong waves were to blame, by the description in the full story it is more like he had a heart attack. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't reckon it was a wave that killed the old fella. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ocean gets very gradually deeper.....There is no rip tide....You have unlimited opportunity to retun to more shallow water at any time...... You would need a medical condition in order to drown.. A child could drown....But a adult....Nope.... Complete nonsense, it is very easy to drown in the ocean. Even if the water is not that deep, one could get cramps too, I had this once in a normal pool and could barely get to the side. Aside of so many other factors or things that can play, could even get a heart attack while swimming and people just think you drown regular.

Kevin Taylor Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 A few years ago now, there were some people who would walk out on the pontoons that mark the swimming area. Some of them falling off the pontoons panicked and drown. My point being if someone who can't swim still puts themselves in that situation, then you can't help them or warn them. The Darwin awards is a real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
