So yesterday a friend and I went to the beach. We were chillin takin in the sun (don't worry I had plenty of my SPF 50 on) when we heard the lady next to us make an interesting comment. Her kids were running out to go play in the water when she said:
"When the waves come in and they start to take you, don't fight it. Just go with the wave. Let the wave take you. Then after it takes you, stand up and you'll be fine."
Ok, so I'm not a swimming expert. Nor am I a parent. However, I don't think you should tell ur kids to "let the wake take them." Plus, if the kid did listen to their mom and rode the wave, wouldn't they be further away from shore and in deeper water, thereby making it impossible for them to stand up? Idk. Maybe it's just me. Still scratching my head on that one ...

I grew up on a beach. I understand what you're saying, but I'm thinking the lady meant if they were being pulled out and couldn't fight the wave, to just go with it until they could swim back. Just so they don't drown trying to fight it. Well, that's what I'm hoping :)
