[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even though people are taught to swim parallel to the rip current I think when you add in the element of fear, our reactions cloud out our logic. I know if I were caught in a dangerous rip current w/no lifeguard in sight - I would probably panic and thrash around in the water until I just give up + drown.[/quote] My brother was caught in a rip current once. He says his brain kept telling him to fight it and try to swim towards the shore. Thankfully he was swimmng with a friend who had been a lifeguard who was able to keep both of them swimming parallel until they got clear of it and could swim in safely. They ended up more than a mile away from where they'd first gone in the water. My brother says his friend saved his life, that if he'd been in the ocean alone or with a less experienced person, he might not have made it. [/quote]
