It appears I can swim in a pool, but not the ocean. Any thoughts or tips?

I think that applies to everyone. A lot of people drown in the ocean.

It IS easier to swim in still water.
You can't really "swim" when you go to the beach if that's what you mean.

Like sitting where the tide comes in and going in a little.... everyone is floating and I get sucked under.

You have to jump before it hits you.

Seriously? So everyone is touching the ground?

That's what I do. I don't know about everyone else.

I've surfed for years. The problem is you need to be in the first 6-8 inches of water to not be affected by the cross/rip currents (aka undertow) when you are in unobstructed beach areas.
If you watch surfers, when they lay on the board, they pretty much stay in the general area. When they are sitting on the board, with their feet in the water, they will move with the current.
