Heed the advice of lifeguards...beach patrol... flags and signs. Swim near a lifeguard.   If you become caught in a rip current...yell for help. Remain calm...do not exhaust yourself and stay afloat while waiting for help. If you have to swim out of a rip current...swim parallel to shore and back toward the beach when possible. Do not attempt to swim directly against a rip current as you will tire quickly.   &&   $$
