https://www.google.com/amp/amp.fox5dc.com/news/local-news/270981599-story First real ocean activity of the summer and 2 lifeguards need rescued. The inlet will sweep you a mile to sea with a NE swell on low tide in 10 min. You might make it to shore at the State Park
the training of ocmd lifeguards is to go into the inlet and wait for assistance from coastguard...dunno why fox would ever reach for dramatic headlines
Protocol saves lives... but even that's not a 100% guarantee. You heard about the 12-year-old girl that drowned recently on Sandy Hook? Sometimes a confluence of circumstances happens that can't be trained for. And that's when tragedies are likely to happen.
