San Diego lifeguards had to deploy jet skis and boats to rescue almost two dozen students who were on the verge of drowning after an annual beach swim training session took a wrong turn.
The swimmers from Rancho Verde High School had set out to swim from La Jolla Cove to a buoy located half a mile out into the ocean, according to the Press Enterprise.
A couple of them started to panic which triggered other ones to get a little bit scared and it just snowballed into a mass rescue.
