They went to the emergency room, and then days later, the Department of Health issued a swimming ban after detecting high bacteria levels in the water.
"It’s the first time I've been to Surfside and it most likely will be the last time,” Wanda Lucas said. “It has left a lasting impression on all four of us."
Health officials lifted the ban on swimming at the beach Friday.
