A Louisiana teen died after being caught in a powerful riptide while swimming in the ocean during a family vacation in the Sunshine State, officials said.

Jayla Tassin, a 19-year-old from St. John the Baptist Parish, was visiting Orlando last week with her family when the group took a day trip on Wednesday to Daytona Beach, where she was abruptly overpowered by a strong current, Parish President Natalie Robottom said in a statement late Monday.

“Although she was a great swimmer, Jayla was no match for the rip current that pulled her underwater in a moment’s notice,” Robottom said. “Subsequently, a large wave swept her out and under deeper water. Despite a valiant effort to save her, Jayla never recovered.”

The teen — who graduated from high school in May — was pulled from the water and was rushed to a hospital with a “major brain injury” before being placed on life support, according to an online fundraiser.

“Everything was going well until the unexpected happened,” Jayla’s relative, Benny, wrote on the website. “Jayla (who knows how to swim really well) was in the water when she walked across a hole causing her to sink down in the water. A wave came at the time.”

The teen then “lost all of her ability” to stay above water in an instant, according to the website.

“It happened quietly and no one even saw,” the account continued. “We were all right there in the water with her.”

Tassin was removed from life support on Monday, WDSU reports.

Messages seeking additional comment from Benny Tassin, whose exact relationship to Jayla is unclear, and Robottom were not immediately returned early Tuesday.

The teen — remembered by Robottom as a kindhearted and “warm-spirited” soul — was well-known throughout East St. John High School and was slated to leave her hometown to start her freshman year at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in less than a month, according to the parish president.

“She has left her mark on our community and St. John the Baptist Parish will always be Jayla’s home,” Robottom’s statement continued. “She will never be forgotten.”
