What to do if you're stuck in a rip current

We've seen it over and over rip Currents in Lake Erie.

On Monday, there will be a breezy north wind, giving us two-foot to four-foot waves and sparking rip currents.

The National Weather Service has issued Beach Hazard Statements in regard to the dangers.

If you get caught in a rip current, stay calm, swim parallel to the beach out of the rip current, then back to shore.

Always follow safe swimming practices and respect the lake.
