What to do if you get caught in a rip

  1. Stay calm
  2. Float on your back
  3. Raise your arm up
  4. Call for help
  5. Continue to stay calm and float until help arrives

If you’re an experienced swimmer, you can also try swimming parallel or sideways to the beach as this may bring you back to shore. If this doesn’t work, do not tire yourself out by swimming against the rip. Just float with the current and wait for help to arrive.
