Water calm on the surface isn't always calm below. Rip tides are frequent before storms, even days before or on beaches hundreds of miles away. If you are anywhere near the gulf before Hurricane Isaias arrival, watch for flags and weather alerts.

Friday Fun Facts: Wave dynamics. The height of a wave as it crashes on shore is directly proportional to water depth at that location. For every 1 ft of wave above water, there is 1.3 ft below water. So big waves crashing on shore means deep water, small waves - shallow water. Plan Accordingly.

Autumn at the beach. There may not be leaves falling, but different seasons offer different conditions at the beach. A calm summer swimming beach can turn into massive waves for professional surfers in the winter. Check flags and signs before getting in water - feet first!

This kills more people annually than sharks: Rip currents! The best way to survive a rip current is to avoid one to begin with, look for water discoloration or waves that meet on shore before heading out for more. Share this video with people you care about. Follow for more life saving tips.

Heads up, beach lovers! Rip currents are often right where two crashing waves meet, creating a fast-moving “river” of water heading away from the shore. This photo captures a brief moment, but life doesn't pause, it keeps moving. Observe the water before getting in. Water safety begins on land☀️

Lifeguards make sure that everyone that goes in the water comes back out. The job is demanding because globally only 45% of adults can swim without assistance. Learning to swim is a true life skill: formal lessons can cut drowning risk by up to 88% for young children. www.m2oswimalliance.org/about

More than half of rip current drownings happen between 5:00 - 7:00 PM. Why? Swimmers are tired. Lifeguards are gone for the day or have trouble spotting swimmers. Swim Smart - Don't stick around after the sun goes down. www.m2oswimalliance.org

Water safety begins on land. Prepare to wear life vests - 87% of drowning victims in boating accidents were not wearing a life vest. Make sure there are coast guard approved life vests that fit everyone on a boat before you set sail. www.m2oswimalliance.org

Boating after dark looks peaceful, but the numbers tell a different story. There are fewer boats at night but a higher share of the accidents that are fatal. If you’re out after sunset: slow down, use proper lights, stay sober, wear your life jacket, and keep a sharp lookout.

There was a time when the water felt overwhelming. Now it feels like home. Learning to swim isn’t always fast — sometimes it’s just one more breath, one more try, one more day of showing up. If you’re scared to start, then start scared. Confidence comes later. www.m2oswimalliance.org
