I avoid being a huge body of water where huge waves are present.

@Adie04 The saying you shared here about swimmers not being able to beat nature is one that I never heard of before.

@Deepizzaguy Yup. I heard people who said that although you are good in swimming, you still can't defeat nature.

The Gulf Of Mexico is known for having sharks in the area.
