HOW TO SURVIVE A RIP CURRENT
Don’t fight the current. It’s a natural treadmill that travels an average speed of 1-2 feet per second, but has been measured as fast as 8 feet per second — faster than an Olympic swimmer.
Relax and float to conserve energy. Staying calm may save your life.
Do NOT try to swim directly into to shore. Swim parallel to the shoreline until you escape the current’s pull. When free from the pull of the current, swim at an angle away from the current toward shore.
If you feel you can’t reach shore, relax, face the shore, and call or wave for help.
*** Remember: Wave and yell ... swim parallel ***
