This was a weekend we were warned about. In fact, I was planning to take my girls swimming but decided not to because the warnings really ramped up. The rip currents became deadly and rescue teams could not keep up.
When my Daughter was younger we were swimming in Ship Bottom when we were caught in a rip tide. Very scary and I must admit I did panic because she was little and I was having trouble getting her out, lucky for us Ship Bottom Lifeguards were out on boards helping swimmers and they towed us in. That incident left me with a new respect for rip tides and the need to know what to do if caught in one.
