New simulator teaches you how to escape a rip current
Do you know how to get out of a rip current? Do you know what a rip current feels like? A new simulator has debuted at Daytona State College, where Volusia County Beach Safety lifeguards can show kids, adults, and families what happens when you're stuck in a rip current and, most important, how to get out of one. Here are the main steps: Swim near a lifeguard, signal for help, then swim parallel to the shore. Once you realize you're out of one, then you can begin to swim towards shore again. FOX 35's Amanda Ruiz talked with Volusia County Beach Safety about the new simulator.
