Lifeguards in Orange Beach patrolled from the water and the sand Friday, April 7, 2023 on the lookout for rip currents and swimmers in distress.
Orange Beach lifeguards post signs as part of their warning to swimmers
Orange Beach lifeguards also assisted with several calls for distressed swimmers on Johnson’s Beach in Escambia County Thursday. Three of those swimmers were flown to area hospitals in critical condition. “It did pull my feet out from under me a couple of times. It was like right as you get to the shore, it pulls you real hard,” explained Nathan Sutton from Tuscumbia, AL.
Some folks reported seeing jellyfish in the water, but none were visible on the beach. Still, the purple flags got the attention of beachgoers. Some, like Lonnie Carmicle of Memphis, TN went right to the lifeguard to ask about it.
