abstract="RIP currents have been measured at Holywell in West Cornwall, where a sandy beach is open to waves and swells from the Atlantic. A rip current is a narrow streak of water which flows seawards from the beach; it carries the return flow of the general shorewards transport of water produced by the breaking of waves. Such currents cause many bathing fatalities each year.  Keywords: Drowning; Drowning Prevention; Water Safety <p />",
