If you do get caught in a rip current, the best thing you can do is stay calm. It's not going to pull you underwater, it's just going to pull you away from shore. call and wave for help. You want to float, and you don't want to swim back to shore against the rip current because it will just tire you out.
The best way to stay safe or should not drown is to always swim near a lifeguard, or in areas designated safe for swimming by lifeguards.
A rip current is like a giant water treadmill that you can't turn off, so it does no good to try to swim against it. "Even small rips can flow faster than a person can swim. People should not try to swim against the rip."
