I was relaxing on the beach at VA / Euclid Beach on the 4th of July weekend and I had an oppurtunity to do a bit of community lifeguarding:
Observing a group of two moms and their children I watched a boy follow an errant beach ball as it floated away from him, and the shore... he was following it on land, and his mom would frequently say - 'don't worry about it, just let it go'.. As he began to leave one of the coves, and move farther from her, I decided to jump in the water to get the ball myself.. Wasn't sure if we was thinking about going in after it, but just wanted to offer a hand and avoid a possible problem..
