According to the National oceanic and atmospheric administration, back-flow is «a powerful, narrow channels of fast moving water.» Reverse current can move at a speed of 2.4 meters per second, faster than an Olympic swimmer. People often panic and begin to swim back to shore against the current, losing in the process a lot of energy, which also increases the risk of drowning. As it is virtually impossible to swim directly against the rip currents, it is recommended to swim parallel to the shore and try to move back at an angle to avoid it.

I never would have thought that in 22 years will be the wife, and then so quickly — widow I love you so much, Dalton Cottrell».
