One of my biggest fears is having to go in after someone. When I was a kid about 14 I came very close to drowning off the waters of NP and I also almost drown the guy who saved me, I was like an octopus all over him.Conditions where horrible.
I agree with you guys being calm is huge. I got caught in a rip current in surf city NC and being calm is what saved me. I fought against the current for a while then realized I had to do something else. I was in very good shape back then, when I reached the beach I've never felt so lucky...I'm just an average swimmer now.
