A REMINDER: Safety at sea is an important responsibility of every citizen. Proper knowledge about rip current, including its signs and appropriate measures during times of danger, is important to prevent accidents and maintain safety at beaches.
๐ WHAT IS RIP CURRENT?
Rip current is a strong, narrow current of water flowing away from shore. It can form on beaches with strong, breaking waves.
While it doesn't usually pull people down under the sea, it can take the swimmer away from shore and cause fatigue or drowning when fighting the current.

MUST DO
โ๏ธ Keep calm.
โ๏ธ Float or float around to conserve energy.
โ๏ธ Swim **parallel to the shore** (left or right).
โ๏ธ Once out of the stream, then swim back to shore.
โ๏ธ Ask for help if you're struggling to get back.
SHOULD BE AVOIDED
โ Don't panic.
โ Don't swim directly against the current.
โ Don't waste energy fighting for water.
โ ๏ธ SIGNS OF RIP CURRENT
๐น Part little or no breaking waves.
๐น Darker or deeper part of water.
๐น Water flowing rapidly away from the beach.
๐น Foam, seaweed, or other object that floats away from the shore.
๐ IMPORTANT REMINDERS
โข Always observe the condition of the sea before moving.
โข Follow the warnings and reminders of the authorities.
โข Swim only in safe and guarded areas.
โข Don't swim alone.

๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐: Ang kaligtasan sa dagat ay isang mahalagang pananagutan ng bawat mamamayan.

Ang rip current ay isang malakas at makitid na agos ng tubig na dumadaloy palayo sa pampang. Maaari itong mabuo sa mga dalampasigang may malalakas at bumabasag na alon.
Bagama't hindi nito karaniwang hinihila ang tao pababa sa ilalim ng dagat, maaari nitong dalhin ang manlalangoy palayo sa baybayin at magdulot ng pagkapagod o pagkalunod kapag nilabanan ang agos.
