 A swimmer starts from the beach and swims straight parallel to the shore. There are a series of buoys placed in the ocean at varying distances from each other to help swimmers monitor how far they have swum. The first buoy is placed 20 meters away from the beach, the second buoy is placed at an additional 24 meters from the first buoy, and the third buoy is placed at an additional 28 meters from the second buoy. If there is a general pattern of increasing distances between consecutive buoys in the form of an arithmetic sequence, determine the distance from the beach where the fourth buoy is placed, taking into consideration a constant ocean current pushing swimmers 3 meters towards the shore during the swim.
