What are Rip Currents?
A Rip Current is a strong, powerful, and narrow channel of water moving perpendicular to the beach away from shore much like a river running out to the sea.

How do I get out of a Rip Current?
Don't Panic! Float and let it take you out. Swim Parallel. Let the waves bring you back in.
