"If you are caught in rip currents, do not panic; stay afloat, moving your arms and legs in a circular movement, treading water and using the air in your lungs for flotation. Shout for help.
“Move, swim across the beachfront until you are free of the rip current and use the incoming waves to get back to shore. We are appealing to bathers to swim at beaches protected by lifeguards. Do not drink alcohol when you go swimming."
