Don't Get Swept Away

reference card imageAs you head to the beach this summer, make sure you pack some knowledge about rip currents; don't dive in without knowing what to do. Rip currents are powerful, narrow channels of fast-moving water. If you encounter choppy water in a churning motion or a disrupted pattern of waves, make sure to swim parallel to the beach. Also, make sure you only swim where a lifeguard is present.
