What should you do if you get stuck in a rip current? Why?
Schach [20]

Answer:  Swim parallel to shore to escape the current.

Explanation:

Most rip currents are between 30 and 100 feet (9.1 and 30.5 m) wide. Look for the nearest breaking waves; they indicate the current's edge. Swim toward the waves, and be sure to move parallel to the shore instead of directly towards it.
