 First of all, do not panic. It seems counterintuitive, but let the rip pull you out, but make sure you wave your arms or get someone's attention on the shore so that way they know you need help. Also, do not try and swim against the rip current because you're just going to get tired. Instead, swim parallel to the shore until the rip current releases its grip. That's Rachel Dunsing with CBS 17. Two people have died since Sunday caught in the rip tides off the North Carolina coast.
