Dangerous Situations

There are a number of dangerous situations you could be in if you are not in a pool that has a lifeguard watching you. Probably one of the most dangerous places you an be is swimming in the sea with the tide going out, you're in worse trouble if your in a rubber dingy. Always keep a watch with you and make sure that you know when the tide is going to turn against you.  

 

Another dangerous situation is in a fast flowing river... or any river for that matter if you jump in you could end up tangled in plants on the bottom of the river bed and end up drowning. Also in a fast flowing river you could be swept away and suffer the fate already mentioned or you could be swept away and out to sea if you are really unlucky.
