Notice
HIGH RISK OF TEARING CURRENTS. Rip currents can carry even the best swimmers away from shore and into deeper water. Swim near a lifeguard. If you get caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don’t swim against the tide. If possible, swim following the shore. If you cannot escape, face the shore and call or signal for help.
