Search for Missing Swimmer Continues at Jacksonville Beach
TL;DR Summary
Thousands of people hit the Jacksonville Beach for Memorial Day weekend, but conditions were still dangerous, and lifeguards warned people to be extra careful. A multi-agency search continues for Curtis Newkirk Jr., 19, who went missing in the ocean south of the Jacksonville Beach pier Sunday evening. Lifeguards urged people to swim within their limits, stay near lifeguards, and only swim with a buddy. There was a moderate risk of rip currents on Monday evening, and if caught in one, people should try to stay calm and swim parallel to the shore.
