When I was 18 years old and in the best shape of my life I was on lake ouachita camping. There was a cove by our campsite and I was on the other side, it didn’t look that far across so instead of walking around it I decided to swim across. At the halfway point I knew I had made a mistake but I was at the point of no return. I did make it but if I wasn’t in that type of shape I would have been a statistic. No drugs or alcohol involved. Don’t assume things you know nothing about, accidents happen.
Back in college at a party at the lake I was hammered as shite and someone dared me I couldn’t swim across lLake Tuscaloosa and back. When I got back they were like “who is this guy climbing up on the dock”. I am still here. Pretty sure there is a lot of drugs and drinking that happens at the beach. Not saying that is the case; but people lose their mind at the beach.

Unfortunately, the coast line between Destin and Gulf Shores is prone to tremendous currents and there are multiple drownings every year. Kids, parents of kids trying to save them, teens trying to save other teens. People just get scared and don't realize you can't fight the current, you have to ride it out and hope when you get free of it you can make it back, but swimming against it in some instances is impossible. Other substances usually are not a factor
