Reminders
HOW TO ESCAPE A RIP CURRENT
Remain calm. Fighting the rip current can exhaust you.
Escape the current by swimming parallel to the shoreline. When free of the current, swim at an angle—away from the current—toward shore.
If unable to escape by swimming, float, or tread water. When the current weakens, swim at an angle away from the current toward the shore.
If at any time you feel you will be unable to reach shore, draw attention to yourself: face the shore, call, or wave for help.👋
🛟To help someone else caught in a rip current, first call 9-1-1 for assistance, then seek help from a lifeguard. If a lifeguard is not present, yell instructions on how to escape or throw the victim something that floats. Please do not enter the water to assist.
