Caught in a rip? Remember this one crucial rule
Australian beach authorities warn swimmers caught in rips to remain calm and avoid panic, which can be fatal. Coastal scientist Dr. Rob Brander notes that about 25 to 30 people drown annually in rips, exceeding deaths from bushfires, floods, cyclones and sharks combined. Never swim against the current; instead float, signal for help, or swim sideways to escape the rip's.
