Correct choices:
- remain calm
- float or tread water if she cannot escape
- draw attention to herself for help
Why: Don’t fight a rip by trying to swim straight back to shore (or into its center). If possible, swim parallel to shore to get out of the rip; if she can’t escape, conserve energy by floating/treading water and signal for help.
