Don't fight back when you're trapped in a rip current. 

To spot a rip current, look for a narrow band of choppy, fast-moving water that flows differently from the areas around it. Fighting against it can quickly exhaust you and carry you farther from shore. Swipe for tips on how to escape safely.

If you have free time this summer, consider spending it in a swim class to be better prepared for the water.
