    Did pretty well, but I should hope so since I’ve seen his material before.

    The advice really is catered for the lowest common denominator though (I guess one has to in this sort of article), so I’ll note that if you can actually swim you don’t have to float along passively once you’ve figured out which direction the rip is taking you. Swimming perpendicular to the current is a valid strategy once you know which direction that will be, as is swimming back in if a rip has taken you out (just choose somewhere the rip isn’t…).

    I surprised myself that I did pretty well on this test.

    Still don’t think I’d trust myself at any beach without flags or lifesavers…

      I definitely still don’t trust myself either. But that was fun, made waiting in line for a haircut more interesting.
