When the wind is blowing over the ocean, the surface is moving too. The tidal currents cause utmost dangerous situations for swimmers. Though the breakwaters, placed by humans, are even more perfidious, while it causes watercourses under the ocean surface. You cannot see these channels of suction (named "muistroom" in Dutch), so you should take care when bathing in the sea as there are dangerous undercurrents and, strong with ebb-tide. Watch for the signs, placed all along the North Sea coast of Holland ...

When sucked into such a "muistroom", don't panic. The more you struggle, the more you sink away, the more you're gonna tire yourself. Let go all of it, and when the water has lost her strong power, and it's quiet again, you can swim back quietly, even the shore looks far away. This is the best you can do, and please, do avoid the piers ...
