How to escape a rip current

[@GMRTranscriptionServicesInc]

The video doesn't just sound a word of caution, but educates as well. A must watch for swimming enthusiasts in our region. Thank you, Francis! :)

brilliant explanation. this will save lives

[@doorwish3403]

Holy shit. I can't believe I went my whole life never being told this. Why isn't this taught more?

We are busy looking for a kid that got swept out here yesterday. Taking a break and was looking for a video to give to the resorts around here to show to their guests because it happens every damned Xmas and Easter here where I live. (Mozambique, Guinjata bay). Will most definitely suggest this video. Panic just causes exhaustion and that is deadly. I hope that they do show this to their guests as it is the best advice. Great video, thanks.

Around 10 years ago in Daytona Beach, this Canadian on vacay was not paying attention got caught in one of these, thought I had met my maker, finally remembered to swim parallel to the shore and was tossed back into the surf. Scary stuff

[@Karlajo70]

I'll show to my students tomorrow. Thank you!

Wow, I used to play in the shallow water where rip currents form. I always liked how it feels when the water rushes past my ankles and back into the ocean. I never knew that was a rip current. 🤦🏾‍♀️😩

@A I no u

[@womenslayer9998]

Lmao the water rushing back happens everywhere on the beach. Not just where the rip current is

An 18 year old boy died in Emerald Isle on April 19. 2019. His friend she is in critical condition bc of a rip current.... there are NO LIFEGUARDS HERE

[@amrice62]

That’s exactly where I went- the calm -it looked so calm-

[@RaymondRAYCE]

Thank you Dr. Smith!

[@juliustetevano6113]

I am lying on the beach heart pounding lol. I nearly drowned cause I panicked haha. So here I am

[@tdsmtdsm]

Best advice ever

[@Soothsayer210]

does rip currents always happen in the same place in the beach since they are connected with sand bars as i understand.

[@philliplang8449]

Thank you!

[@mamaluigi2064]

I got caught in a rip current 10 years ago When I was 13 years old got saved by the lifeguard scared the everliving shit out of me. Haven't stepped in the ocean since And I've lived in California my whole life rip currents are no joke

[@Moonz-]

Best explication! Thanks

[@Piccolopete]

good advice

[@khg8519]

cold water does not help nothing worse than trying to swim in swim out a few 100 meters

[@khg8519]

awesom a video said dont swim in - I need to add a bit currents can parallel the beach for miles dont freak out try lay on your back and wait

[@swoops2811]

did these dudes really use the minecraft soundtrack?

[@DevangOnline]

Education or brainwash? Not all situations is swimming parallel to the shore is feasible. Also here in the US, we use feet & yards, not meters.

[@sunkissednae1985]

"remain calm" 😅 not sure most people can manage that

[@samuelpeusca5407]

Kira Stevens yes you can, just think of it as a #Lazyriver Ride ☺

[@womenslayer9998]

I have been in currents in California and its not to hard to stay calm in it. But in jersey, the water gets deep quickly, so the waves are still all over you while ur in the current. Its a lot harder to stay calm when its like jersey

[@QualityLyricsHQ]

Yewwwww

[@RaymondRAYCE]

My thoughts exactly...
