Of Interest: Rip Currents

Rip current in ocean

Rip Currents don’t pull you under the water — they pull you away from the shore. This is a common misconception, but the risks are still high. Every year in the United States over 100 people are reported from drowning due to rip currents. If you are caught in one, never swim against the rip current; swim parallel to the shore.

Take precautions! Never swim alone, make sure a lifeguard is around, and stay away from piers and jetties where rip currents are known to form. Do not test the ocean; rip currents can drag even the strongest swimmers out to sea.
