With the warmer weather upon us, many people are heading to the beaches. However, studies show that most people do not realize how strong and powerful the waves are in the ocean. Injuries are increasing each summer with reports ranging from sprains and strains to organ trauma, broken bones and even death. Many beach goers tend to hang out in the water where the waves break and that is where the power of the waves can knock people around and cause serious injuries. Use caution when going in the ocean. Swim where there are lifeguards. Make sure you are a good swimmer BEFORE venturing into the ocean. Do not stand or swim right where the waves break, as that is where you can get the most injured.
