Rip currents
According to the U.S. Lifesaving Association, more than 100 drowning occur every year on the beaches because of rip currents in the United States. The currents are mostly narrow and have fast-moving streams that take a different direction away from the shore, and so they happen mostly when the waves break strongly or after a storm.
NOAA advises swimmers to stay calm when they are caught in one and to not try to fight them, just simply swim out of the current, then swim at an angle far from it and towards the shore.
