Girl gets swept by massive waves (Queen's bath, Kauai)

Fast forward to 0:35 to see the person. Anybody from Kauai know who this is?

Some background on this video was that the girl had intentionally went in the water to get hit by the waves. Apparently it's what the locals do, and that's when I started recording. All the waves were massive, and tourists were in shock and already telling her to get out, but she was just laughing playfully with her younger brothers (who were in the water earlier too) with her mom present. The last three waves were bigger than what she had even expected however.

There was a big crowd of tourists, right where she was at. At 1:08 mark, you can faintly hear people yell "get out of there!" again in the background. The tourists were panicking but the mom didn't seem too shaken by it.

When these waves are calm, even a person who can't swim very well (which is me) can jump in. It's like you're swimming in an aquarium with all the sea life below you. The girl in here was a local to Kauai.

She did everything right, dove down to the rock ledge when bigger waves came, stayed relatively calm, then swam back to the climb out spot after the largest wave in the set. Local girl for sure.

No matter how smart she was in handling the situation, exhaustion could have killed her.

People talking about how she did everything right. Doing everything right would mean not being in there in the first place. I am willing to bet the people who drowned there felt a degree of confidence and expertise.

The Queen's Bath is a beautiful, magical place. Use caution, more than a few swimmers have lost their lives thinking it is safe under less than ideal conditions. This girl was obviously a strong swimmer. Be careful. Aloha...

She did everything right. She didn't panic. She held her ground and dived deep in a deep part of the bowl as each wave in the set passed through. As the set of waves ended she then and only then retreated to the rim. She should never have been in there though.

She looks like a experienced swimmer and always faced the ocean. No signs of panick.

This woman is a skilled athlete, and a strong swimmer. I'm sure she knows the location, and her physical abilities.
That said, that extra big wave spun her for sure!

Thank God, ...I thought that wave was going to take her out. Glad she's safe.

I probably would have panic. I would have been holding on to a rock so good u would have thought we were a couple. I'm glad this lady was smart and survived.

She wasnt swept out. She jumped in. Locals do it often. Tourists always freak out, but rightly so.

She handled that perfectly, didn't panic, went under the surge, didn't fight it, even when the big took her in a bit, she handled the whole thing like a pro

I think she knew what she was doing, still, I wouldn’t recommend it!

Love the comments on the people filming who have no idea what they're talking about.
