Swimmers can be drawn into rip currents Quickly from the shore, According to NOS. The most important thing if you get caught up in the flow is not to panic.
“The best way to escape a rip current is to swim parallel to the shore, not towards the shore, as most rip currents are less than 80 feet wide,” NOS said on the page. It describes the rip current. “Since the rip current stays near the shore and usually dissipates across the line of breaking waves, swimmers can also carry the current into the ocean until it weakens.”
