WHY ARE RIP CURRENTS DANGEROUS?
“Rips are strong currents running out to sea, which can quickly drag people and debris away from the shallows of the shoreline and out to deeper water.” (Source)
HOW TO HANDLE A RIP CURRENT?
If caught in a rip current, don’t fight it! Paddle parallel to the shore or back to land at a 45-degree angle.
- Examine your options

- Call for help
- Paddle parallel to the shore or an angle of 45 degrees to escape the ‘grip of the rip’. Never swim against it.
