Practice safe swimming
You should always swim in an area with lifeguards. Patrolled areas post surf hazard warning flags or rip current educational signs so swimmers know about surf conditions and rip current activity. In addition, NOAA's National Weather Service issues surf zone forecasts to help lifeguards and local officials determine if the water is safe for swimming.
The U.S. Swim Schools Association urges parents to review rip current safety measures with their children and introduce kids to the lifeguard in the area before they go into the water.
"It's always good to check in with the lifeguard when you arrive at the beach," Gill said. "If you see red flags flying, check in and see what the restrictions are."
