Welcome to c/WouldYouRather, where we present you with the toughest, most ridiculous choices you never knew you had to make! Would you rather have a third arm that's only useful for picking your nose, or be able to talk to animals but only if they're wearing hats? Yeah, it's that kind of vibe. Come for the absurdity, stay because you've clearly got nothing better to do with your life.

I tend to agree. I usually claim that I can't swim, as what I do doesn't really constitute swimming, but I can stay afloat and move in a deliberate direction.
A complicating factor: Swells and bad weather make it a lot harder. But on the flipside, no matter how badly it goes, if I'm teleported back in 30s I'd just fill my lungs beforehand. I can hold my breath for much longer than that, and even if I couldn't, it would take more than 30s to die from oxygen deprivation - just make sure I have EMTs on standby for when I return.
The only real danger seems to be getting slammed against some rocks or getting bitten by something
But if it's truly random, the second one becomes a lot less likely?
I think you gotta be reeeeally unlucky to be eaten by something within 30 seconds of arriving.
And the chances for dangerous shore positioning are really slim because the ocean is fucking huge. I'd say chances are that you won't even be able to see land during all of those 30 second rounds. Source: I work with/on ships
Jellyfish stings.
Yeah the only one I’d really worry about is teleporting into s boat prop, rocks or reef, or maybe jellyfish. This stings hurt for a long time.
