RIP CURRENTS🌊⚠ -- 'We always preach about safety when it comes to rip currents and now you can see why. This photo was taken earlier today, Tuesday, July 4, 2023, around Ocean Trace Rd.' - St. Augustine Beach Police Department |
JFRD Ocean Rescue says people often underestimate the power of the water. Here’s what you need to know so you’re not next.
The water doesn’t care if you are a lifeguard, great swimmer or a kid. Rip currents are usually a body of water moving against crashing waves. Don’t panic, you could put yourself and the lifeguard trying to save you at greater risk. Swim parallel to the shore, and it helps to be near a lifeguard post. Some people don’t risk it. “I don’t, I’m afraid of the water, I don’t go in often,” beachgoer Dakota McDowell said. “I’m scared of it, I’m afraid that I’m gonna get pulled out there and I’ll never come back.”
Lifeguards aren’t saying don’t get into the water. Instead, educate yourself and your family, practice prevention and help keep you and everyone around you safe. Lifeguards encourage parents to not rely on them as the first line of protecting for your kids in the water, it should be you.
