That's fine, provided that the skepticism is based on things like experience, fitness and ultimately a willingness to accept the risk (it's not fine without such an evaluation). The only times I go swimming in the sea is when it's a high spring tide, because that's when the waves are a blast (not just figuratively speaking). To me, a red flag only reiterates the fact that I shouldn't expect help in the rare event where things do go wrong... OK, that's acceptable.
