RIP CURRENT DEATHS ARE PREVENTABLE

Every year over 100 people die in Rip Currents in the US.  26% of those are rescuers who are trying to help someone who is struggling in a Rip Current.  The sad thing is that 100% of these deaths are preventable with proper education and something to float on (*noodle).

If you can float, you can survive a Rip Current.

Beach towns and cities do a fantastic job at Rip Current education and awareness training for their citizens.  The issues lies within the fact that it is not their citizens who die in Rip Currents, it is the tourist and vacationers.  There needs to be more broader education for those of us who vacation at these locations!  This site is dedicated to helping increase Rip Current awareness for all of us who love the ocean and lakes, but do not have the privilege of living close to them.

Stay Calm

Stay Calm, float and conserve your energy, let it pull you out

Swim Parallel

When you feel it start to let go swim parallel to the shore

Ride the Waves

Once you swim away from the Rip, ride the waves back to the shore

Rescue

The best way to rescue someone is to throw them something to float on, call 911 and find a lifeguard

Before you head out to the beach make sure you check the Rip Current Forecast!
