Spot rips
How rips work

Asses the situation
Determine which way you are moving in the rip
How rips move in all different shapes and sizes
What to do if you get stuck in a rip
Different floating techniques
Fight or flight
Rescuers drown too always use a floatation device
If you are strong swimmer you can aim for the waves either side and the energy and momentum will take you back to shore.
Always swim at patrolled beaches
