I second that.
What a f*cking liar....there's no such thing as a riptide any lifeguard would know they're called rip currents.plus there's no way you would get hired as a lifeguard if you couldn't get out of a rip
Up North, we call them ripe tides, they're called that on all the warnings too
How can you tell when they're ripe?
well it depends on where you live because they're called both... and plus maybe OP didnt have enough room for rip current
wtf 38 rip and riptide is the same thing dumbass
hahahhaha
I agree. I mean, it's basic knowledge that he's missing out on. I've never been to any kind of training for that kind of thing because I only like swimming on a casual level, but everyone should know that you can still get seriously injured in rough water even if you're an excellent swimmer. It's usually cold, and the water splashing against you so aggressively makes it hard to breath and concentrate. I definately pity anyone who happens to get into any trouble with him on duty, he can't handle himself, why should he be responsible for trying to save others' lives?
Somehow the comment I was replying to disappeared.
change of career?
you learned how to get out of a riptide in elementary? I'm finishing high school and I didn't even know what a riptide was until now
Maybe so, but when I was in elementary school I lived in California not too far from the coast. My family went to the beach a lot, and my parents taught me things like that so that I could go out in the water without them. My point was though that he was a lifeguard, and he didn't know how to get out of a riptide? That's something that can happen in his job, I'm just surprised that it wouldn't appear somewhere in his training.
You've obviously not taken a course on basic water safety. Something which is useful, considering we're not on the moon.
Haah.
Then you should laugh at them. It'll only make it even.
