Cartman's words - I am absolutely amazed that I am the only person viewing this website who has actually visited hundreds of beaches with competent lifeguards.............. arrogant
Go back to the beaches that you seem to believe are safeguarded. I too, like so many on this site and more, have been lucky enough to travel the world and visited many beaches and have adhered to the lifeguards requests to either go in the sea or leave it. We have survived rip tides in Australia because of local lifeguard knowledge. Survived jelly fish attacks because of lifeguard knowledge in Greece. Survived sinking sands in Conway, North Wales, because of lifeguard knowledge.
Go ahead Cartman take your chances at Arena or anywhere else you think you are bigger and better than.
If a lifeguard blows his whistle and asks me to leave the waters I will listen to his words, and certainly not yours.
