If you ever get caught in a rip tide, best bet is swim sideways along the shore. Don't try to swim against it towards shore. A rip tide isn't very wide so try to get clear that way.

Now there's a tip that's going right in the memory warehouse.
I learn stuff on WPD all the time that will improve my self preservation skills.
But every once in a while I learn something extra special or something that I feel is slightly more likely to come in handy somewhere down the road.
This is one of those facts.
Thank youuuu!

No worries. A lot of people die by fighting to get back towards shore and they get exhausted.

I tried that once and it didn't work. Sometimes the rip current is wide like a mother fucker. Much better to stay out of the ocean unless you can swim like Michael Phelps or have a body board or fliippers or some shit like that.

I carefully worded my advice in the uncertain and with the assumption you're ended up in a rip tide for reasons possibly beyond your control.
And it does work. You were in a rip tide once. I deal with water rescues all the time. I've been in more rip tides than years you've been alive.

I got lucky and saved my brother from one when I was around 8. Lifeguard didn't even see it until I was dragging him out of the water. He's also fallen through ice in a pond next to where we live before that. Went out on the slush when I told his dumbass not to. I've saved him from drowning twice, lucky bastard xD

"and it does work".......my point is, that it doesn't always work and that's a fact, as I tried it and I ended up getting swept 1 km offshore. If you really are a former life guard (you're probably a 14 year old that has barely set foot outside his bedroom) then your swimming capability is likely to be well above average.
