Beaches of South Walton, Fla:
(Miramar Beach) March 29, 2009 – The South Walton Fire District (SWFD) received a call at 6:40 p.m., reporting two distressed swimmers unable to get to shore behind Pompano Joe’s Restaurant.
SWFD units arrived on scene and reported two swimmers caught in a strong rip current. The lifeguards were able to quickly reach the distressed swimmers and bring them safely to shore. Both swimmers refused treatment.
Double red flag conditions had been posted at the time of the rescue, as well as two days prior. “The men, father and son, were caught in a very strong rip current and were exhausted when we reached them.” said Gary Wise, Beach Safety Director. We have been proactively warning people all weekend to stay out of the water to prevent such an occurrence, these surf conditions are deadly”, said Wise.
The SWFD urges all beach goers to understand and heed the beach safety warning flags and the direction of lifeguards.
