Why would you NOT tell them anything but the truth ?
The ocean is not a playground, it can be enjoyed immensely, but one must ALWAYS remember that when in the ocean, you are NOT at the top of the food chain like you are on land. Some like myself accept that risk and keep my brain turned on when around or in it.
I spent my life on and around the ocean’s water, it is something that is to be respected at ALL times. Come on man !….Your not sitting in a 2 foot deep, blow up, doughboy pool in your backyard with a margarita man !!
Things in the water can, will, do, view your ass as a meal !
The truth will set you free.
Always tell your kids the way it REALLY is, they get enough smoke blown up their arses watching 40 hours of sillyness on TV every week, you should be their “breath of fresh air”.
If THEY decide to stay out of the water and not take those chances, thats THEIR decisions….not yours. Respect it.
