A doctor from Chicago went up to the beach in Michigan for his 50th birthday, around 10 am he seen 2 kids crying for help, he got them out but ended up drowning. I have a pool here and believe I'm a great swimmer and diver and was thinking of going to the beach, his death and many others around there got me too scared to go. I'm not joking, maybe the rip currents are really bad this summer from the hot temps.

Dr. Donald Liu, a pediatric surgeon at University of Chicago Comer Children's Hospital, dedicated himself to helping children.

On Sunday morning, Liu died while saving two youths struggling in the waters of Lake Michigan off a small beach in Michigan about 90 miles from Chicago, authorities said.

Once in Mexico I went in the ocean and the waves crashing ashore prevent me from walking out. There was so much water rushing back from the shoreline I could not make it back in, I kept trying and trying then a bit a big wave knock me right down. Got sand in my ears, hair, nose. I was pissed off..and getting worry. I decided to swim out to where the water was calmer- no big waves way off shore and then I started to swim to shore as fast as I could and try staying with a wave developing, it got me far enough in that I could stand knee high deep and I was able to walk out. Later on I noticed the red flags, lol

You gotta be careful saving people, sometimes they might hang on to you for dear life and refuse to let go when they are unable to save themselves and pull you down with them.

Let this be a warning, it could happen to U
