This kid was a football player, and I'm assuming a fine swimmer, but you are 100% correct. None of that athleticism, upper body strength, advanced lung capacity, etc. necessarily matters one bit. One of our own former State football players, Jeff Easterwood, got pulled under by a riptide and didn't make it back. He died, tragically, and was in that tide because he was trying to save a little girl in the same current. I think the girl lived, which is a great story and makes Jeff a hero. But still a tragedy that I think about every time my kids go out in the Gulf.
