100% Preventable. 100% Survivable
Every year, more than 100 people lose their lives to rip currents in the U.S. Tragically, 26% of those victims are rescuers—brave individuals attempting to save someone else.
The reality is simple: If you can float, you can survive.
While coastal residents are often well-trained in water safety, it is the visitors and vacationers who are most at risk. We are dedicated to closing that education gap. We provide life-saving awareness for everyone who loves the ocean but doesn’t live near the shore. With the right education and a simple flotation device—like a noodle—we can ensure every beach trip ends safely.
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!
