[quote=motivated]Unfortunately, this happened near my hometown sailing area. Its called Hurricane Pass, and when the tides change, an enormous amount of water flows through this narrow channel. This beach is located right on the channel (northside, in the upper part of the photo below) and I can understand how a novice swimmer could easily be swept out into the Gulf.

Here's an aerial photo of the pass. The beaches on both sides of the pass are popular swimming areas. I've sailed my hobie through that channel hundreds of times.
