Just a reminder, Im sure everyone has heard this before, if you ever get caught make sure you swim parallel to the shore rather than towards it. If you try to swim towards shore (or away from it for some reason) you will not escape. Theres no guarantee swimming parallel will mean safety, but if youre going to get free, thats how. It's because riptides most often run perpendicular to the shore. So you need to go parallel to get out of the riptide section to then have a chance of getting back to the shore unassisted. They also say it's safer to actually just float and try signal for help than try fight against a riptide (swim against it rather than parallel). Highly unlikely to beat it and it's going to tire you out to the point of drowning Even though I'm a decent swimmer, I hate swimming at sea. I'll happily swim in Florida lakes (and frequently do) but open sea scares me without all the safety precautions ... Copied to Clipboard! |
