What the National Weather Service wrote

The three swimmers were transported to a hospital after receiving CPR. Two were in stable condition and one teen succumbed to injuries in the hospital.

The wider storm

As a cold front passed South Florida, there were cautionary conditions across the local waters on April 12th. Seas were in the 3-5 feet range across all local waters with northeasterly winds around 15 kts. This lead to a strong risk for rip currents, particularly for the beaches in northern Palm Beach county.
