Respiratory Impairment
The unassuming calm water may lure people to swim there
But the calm water likely represents deep rip currents
That can be very dangerous
Most people realize they are in a rip current
When they feel themselves
Being pulled along the shore
Or in a seaward direction
Rip currents will often have long shore
Or lateral currents that lead into the seaward rip current
Some very strong rip currents may extend 300 meters offshore
But most will end just past the breaking waves
The natural reaction of being pulled away from the shoreline
Is to swim towards it
This is were most people get in trouble
Averaging a speed between 1 and 2 meters per second
Any swimmer, regardless of their strength
Will tire easily in trying to swim against the rip
Fatalities result when the tired swimmer
No longer has the strength to swim
Rip currents will often have long shore
Or lateral currents that lead into the seaward rip current
Some very strong rip currents may extend 300 meters offshore
But most will end just past the breaking waves
The natural reaction of being pulled away from the shoreline
Is to swim towards it
This is were most people get in trouble
Averaging a speed between 1 and 2 meters per second
Any swimmer, regardless of their strength
Will tire easily in trying to swim against the rip
Fatalities result when the tired swimmer
No longer has the strength to swim
But the calm water likely represents deep rip currents
That can be very dangerous
Most people realize they are in a rip current
When they feel themselves
Being pulled along the shore
Or in a seaward direction
Rip currents will often have long shore
Or lateral currents that lead into the seaward rip current
Some very strong rip currents may extend 300 meters offshore
But most will end just past the breaking waves
The natural reaction of being pulled away from the shoreline
Is to swim towards it
This is were most people get in trouble
Averaging a speed between 1 and 2 meters per second
Any swimmer, regardless of their strength
Will tire easily in trying to swim against the rip
Fatalities result when the tired swimmer
No longer has the strength to swim

Or lateral currents that lead into the seaward rip current
Some very strong rip currents may extend 300 meters offshore
But most will end just past the breaking waves
The natural reaction of being pulled away from the shoreline
Is to swim towards it
This is were most people get in trouble
Averaging a speed between 1 and 2 meters per second
Any swimmer, regardless of their strength
Will tire easily in trying to swim against the rip
Fatalities result when the tired swimmer
No longer has the strength to swim
