What to do if you’re caught in a rip current
Though we’ve gone through the signs and warning signals of rip currents, it can still be incredibly difficult to detect them at times. Conditions of rip currents can undergo rapid changes, and the indications of danger may not always be readily apparent while standing on the beach or in the surf.
This is one of the reasons why we still witness so many cases with tragic outcomes, year after year. Sadly, multiple lives have been lost as untrained individuals, including well-meaning parents or good Samaritans, try to perform a rescue.
But remember, if you ever find yourself in a rip current, all hope is not lost – there are actions you can take to save your life and the lives of others.
1. First of all, maintaining a calm demeanor is crucial. Don’t panic, and remember that you won’t be sucked underwater.
2. Wave your arms to signal that you need help, and try to yell to people.
