page 466,
- Undertows (or ‘rips'’) are the main problem. If you find yourself being carried out by a '''rip''', the important thing to do is just keep afloat; don?t panic or try to swim against the '''rip''', which will exhaust you. In most cases the current stops within a couple of hundred metres of the shore and you can then swim parallel to the shore for a short way to get out of the ' rip and make your way back to land.
