We got caught in a rip tide today at South Padre Island. No life guards on duty. It was a bit choppy not too much, but there was a red flag so I had my husband and my kids with me (they all 3 were over 20) we got to our chest and I don’t go that far I was ready to go back. Then all of a sudden I couldn’t touch. I said I don’t like this and tried swimming back to shore. That did not work I was being hit by wave after wave and swept under from my feet. My husband is a bigger man 6’3 but was out a bit further maybe 3 ft from me had same problem. My kids could touch tip toes, but we all were being swept out fast and hit by wave continuously. I couldn’t get a breathe my husband couldn’t get a breath. We did panic for a second I kept yelling be calm be calm it’s ok try to swim parallel because I knew we were in trouble. My kids were very scared my husband was in more trouble than all of us me next. He yelled out my name worried about me. I said hey it’s ok just breath and stay calm. We were out there maybe 10 mins fighting seemed like 20 mins. My son the youngest 20 and 6’2. Formed a chain with us all. I saw someone die that way and I was scared but I went with it. We all choked and drank a lot of sea water. I have never ever seen my husband of 20 yrs that scared and panicked my kids haven’t either. After fighting we were kind of swimming crossways from the shore. I finally was able to touch throwing up water and having an attack. My husband gasping and throwing up water. My kids scared but did better than we did maybe because they had more energy and were younger I’m not sure! They save their parents that day. We all were very traumatized and would not step back into the water. The thing I remember the most besides thinking I’m drowning is it happening so so fast!!! We never got a chance to react before it got that bad. We are okay I’m actually sitting on my balcony watching the waves crash and realize how close to death we all were today. Thinking how many went through what we did and didn’t make it. It’s looks refreshing and beautiful, but don’t ever take that for granted. It’s can be extremely dangerous within seconds!
