  1. It’s stupid to go out more than just a few yards to cool off.
    After that all you’re accomplishing, is more chance of danger.
    Additionally, never fight currents. Swim with them and angle back slightly.
    Like a sailboat does.

  2. There have been warnings like this off and on for the past week.

    Could the city find a way to post them on the beaches or close beaches during those periods?

    2. The big pond has always been dangerous and has been taking
      unsuspecting lives forever. They have had warning signs
      for years, but people do not read signs.
      We will never fix stupid.

  3. Thank you to the brave brother-in-law! Daring and dashing your powerful dive, drive, and devotion shows! 👍

  4. Kudo’s to the brother in law for his bravery, he’s a true hero.
    it may sound corny but he should receive a public award, so kids can see what a selfless hero really looks like. That’s whats missing in society today.
