A FRIENDLY REMINDER -coming from a Long Beach Girl!!!
PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN GOING INTO THE WATERS!
Long Beach already has had 25 emergencies & 4 drownings. 3 people are ok & recovered. 1 person is still missing & they can-not locate their body. Its is so sad. I went to my parents house for lunch yesterday & the helicopters & ambulances were in abundance. I couldnt even get down the block to go back to work.
SO PLEASE REMEMBER - If you cant swim DO NOT attempt to learn in the ocean. Also if the lifegaurds are not on duty DO NOT go into the water!! People do not realize the strength of the ocean & its currents/Riptides & Undertoes. They are dangerous & if you are not experienced you will be swallowed up! Im very thankful to have grown up in this beautiful beach town & also very lucky to have had the opportunities to learn how to swim & get out of these types of situations. Also lifegaurdng & the reg. beachy things we LBers normally do. So please take it from a person who knows & has seen the worst. BE CAREFUL & CAUTIOUS & PASS THIS MESSAGE ON!
