Depending on the person, it can be real easy to float in salt water. It’s falling asleep/drowning or hypothermia that can get you as well.
I suspect life or death most people who are good swimmers could survive in water for a while.
I think if I saw lights in the distance I could tread water, swim a bit, tread water, etc. But I'm talking about sober and thinking clearly. I could also be overthinking my skills and not considering current etc

I read somewhere that swimming trunks often take a very long time to move through the digestive system of a shark .

And floating is extremely easy in salt water. When you completely relax and float riding the waves for long periods of time, you can still feel yourself floating up and down when you go to bed at night and close your eyes. When you open your eyes the sensation goes away. Without the threat of the marine life in the ocean, I could float and tread for a very long time and never tire. It’s the lack of water and food that would make a strong swimmer & great floater succumb.

If you've never taken a water survival course or qualification, shut the frick up.

It was extremely important to my parents that we all be good swimmers. That was just the culture I grew up in. I took advanced life saving swimming classes as a kid/adolescent.
I think I'm a 7/10 swimmer. But I don't know how I would react in that situation. It's hard to say without being in it.

I thought I was a good swimmer as well. Open water is 1027474929727588x different than a pool. Anyone that tells you different is a fool.

Anyone know anything about the tide at the time? From what I can find low tide was around 5 or so and high tide was close to 1 am. So doesn’t that mean that he would have been pulled toward shore, not out to sea?

We had a condo in Destin when I grew up the 80s and my parents and uncles taught me all about how to survive the rip currents. Not only what to do but what not to do.
It saved my life after getting pulled out in a rip current a couple times and also when pulled under and sent rolling over and over under the water so don’t tell me to stfu.
Some of you are such condescending pricks who need to get over yourselves.

In calm water I'm reasonably confident that I could tread water for quite a while. 10, 12, 24 hours? I'm not really sure. Certainly a few at a minimum.
This leads me to believe something else happened to this kid. Current, shark etc. He seemed pretty comfortable in the water.

It’s odd people are arguing over this shite. It seems pretty obvious he was killed by a shark. If you don’t want to believe that u til you have 100% proof that’s cool but why argue about it for 50 pages?

2023/05/24 Wed - low tide was 5:55 PM 0.41 feet.
2023/05/25 Thu - high tide was
12:21 AM 2.60 feet.
So a little over 2 feet tide would be pulling him inland at that time.

Seems unreasonable to argue he floated out to sea at that time. Doesn’t that defy physics?

No need to call people names. You should apologize

It true, the density of salt water is much greater than fresh making it much more buoyant . Same reason boats run better in salt water.

Absolutely but anyone who has spent a lot of time in the ocean and knows not to panic and how tread and float can stay afloat for a very long time.

Agreed. I have no doubt that was a shark that pulled him under.
