Lake Superior Rescue Captured On Video [VIDEO]

When I was younger I jumped off the side of the canal into the water and swam around. It was a semi-windy day and I was young and stupid. Had I known the danger I was putting myself in I might not have done it. Kids, and parents, pay close attention to this story.

Our partners at The Northland’s News Center reported on a 12 year-old girl who was too tired to climb out of a rip-current on Park Point today.  Luckily, her friends could climb out and call for help.  Remember that if you get caught in a rip-current, don’t try to swim to shore.  Instead, swim parallel to the shore and you will eventually get out of the rip-current and then you can swim into shore.  Also, I would encourage all parents to talk to their kids about the dangers of swimming in Lake Superior, especially in areas where no life guards are on duty.
