Teaching my daughter how to identify, avoid and swim out of rip tides for the past couple hours, great morning, now back to work.
- Shit, teach me too? I encountered my first one last summer and it freaked me out a bit - i'd always felt quite a confident swimmer 'til then :\detritus
- I pull people out of rips about once every couple months, kids and adults, they can be pretty intensemoldero
- best thing to do in a worst case scenario is learn how to tread for long periods of time using minimal effort, keeping air in your abdomen and just floatmoldero
- works good in a beach with people on it, then you can get saved (hopefully) people drown by tiring themselves out fighting the currentmoldero
- if your ever caught in a rip, swim parallel to the beach to get out of it, but keep in mind the more it takes you out, the wider they getmoldero
- I got caught in one this summer. My girlfriend won't let me forget how scared my face was, as she looked on, safe on the beachset
- I swam like there was no tomorrowset
- haha yup, some rips are just to quick and fat I don't even get in 'em without a boardmoldero
