Learn to Survive the Rip!
Date Published: Fri, Aug 21st 2009, 15:13Learn to recognize the signs of a rip current. If in doubt, don’t go out. If you do swim in a rip current, do not try to fight against the force of the water flow taking you out to sea. Swim with the current but parallel to the shoreline until you no longer feel the pull of the current. Then swim back to shore. If tired, float or tread water. Call for help.
