Message: Recent drownings on NSW beaches due to rips shows just how many safety clueless visit remote beaches putting their kids and families in dangers way.

The first thing he taught us, after first teaching us to swim, was how to identify a rip and not to struggle against it if caught in one. I can remember him always telling us to swim with the rip and to the side towards white water from which we could swim back to shore.
There is a good site on rips that we should pass on to our kids and others:
