Do you know what a rip tide looks like?
RIP CURRENT: Stay safe while at the beach this summer! This could save your life. Do you know what a rip current looks like? We have probably all seen them and weren't aware of the danger. When you see waves and then a small section of "flat" waves in between, that's a rip current. The water is moving in the opposite direction. Stay clear of these areas!! This is NOT a calm place to hang out with small children.

And of course the way to escape a rip current is to swim sideways, parallel to the beach, until you have cleared the outflowing current. Then swim towards the beach.
