    Rip currents are the cause of the majority of RNLI lifeguard rescues around the coast. They can form suddenly, dragging people out to sea and flowing faster than an Olympic swimmer. So, how do you spot a rip current, avoid getting caught in one, and survive if you do?

    Liam from the RNLI Water Safety Team explains exactly what to do if you or someone else gets caught in a rip current, so youโ€™re prepared in an emergency.

    Youโ€™ll also hear from Euan, who was caught in a rip current with his brother Andrew. He shares his incredible story and explains how he survived.

    RNLI Lifeguard Elenie shares tips for spotting rip currents and explains how RNLI lifeguards rescue people who get into difficulty.

    Associate Professor of Ocean Exploration Doctor Tim Scott from the University of Plymouth talks about the science behind rip currents and the research that has helped inform RNLI lifeguard training and water safety advice. Tim explains the different types of rip current, how they form, and answers a common question – whatโ€™s the difference between a rip current and a rip tide?

    Understanding rip currents and knowing what to do if you get caught in one could save your life. Share this video to help keep people safer at the coast.
