Yesterday, authorities, including the NYPD and Coast Guard, spent a second day searching for 16-year-old Tiara Coaxum, who went missing while swimming off Rockaway Beach on Friday. While they are resuming the search today, the rescue operation will turn into a recovery mission today. It's suspected Coaxum was caught in a riptide (the Daily News has tips on escaping a riptide), but some residents wondered to NY1 if there should be more than just two lifeguards monitoring beach activity.

I was on Riis beach not far from there yesterday ... there were many lifeguards (perhaps in response to the girl's demise?) who were whistling and yelling constantly to get people to come away from the drop off. There was even one guard out in the water whistling ... but people continued to go as far as they could.
this was happening on Long Beach as well. People just do not listen and parents also have a duty to keep an eye out for their children.
