The beach and the sea, sentence 0

The sea is never as still as a pool: waves knock you over, the tide comes in and out, and hidden currents move water much faster than you can swim.

Who acts: sea, waves, tide, hidden currents, you · What happens: not be, knock over, come, move, swim · To what, where: you, water
