Swimming out too far: sea, rivers, lakes and quarries, sentence 0

Kai, 10, on a Cornwall beach paddles out past the red-and-yellow flags: «Them flags are for babies, our kid»; two minutes later the beach looks small, because outside the flags is where rip currents often run, strong channels of water flowing out to sea, and no lifeguard is watching that water.

Who acts: Kai, flags, beach, rip currents, strong channels, lifeguard · What happens: paddle out, be, look, flow out, watch, channel · To what, where: Cornwall beach, water · Speech: someone speaks here
