Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request in English. Please answer in English.

### Instruction:
Buoys are placed in the ocean at even intervals away from the beach to help swimmers monitor how far away from the beach they have swum. If a swimmer reaches the third buoy, they have swum out 72 meters. How many meters from the beach is the fourth buoy?

### Response:
The buoys are evenly spaced, so the first buoy is 72 / 3 = <<72/3=24>>24 meters from the beach.
Thus, the fourth buoy is 24 * 4 = 96 meters from the beach.
