How do you get out of a rip current?
If caught in a rip current, the best thing to do is to try to relax and swim parallel to shore. It may feel like you are not making progress but continue to relax and swim parallel to the shore. Once you feel that you are out of the rip current, swim towards the shore. If you are unsure of what a rip current looks like, feel free to contact a lifeguard at the main tower at 17th Street.
