New Zealand beaches can give us some of our best memories but can also create some potential risks with rips creating more rescues and emergencies than any other beach accident. In this module, students learn the importance of how to recognise rips and other potential dangers caused by currents before they enter the water and what steps to take if ever caught in a rip current.
