Although Swim Onshore was more successful (t¯_RIP1= 0.22, t¯_RIP2= 1.65 min) than Swim Parallel, promotion of such a strategy is strongly discouraged in conventional safety advice. Results suggest that contemporary rip current escape strategies may be inappropriate in non-TBR rip current systems and that alternative strategies should be considered, including Swim Onshore and a greater focus on preventative strategies, particularly in relation to bathers with limited swimming ability.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:09:39 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51773 Mon 18 Sep 2023 14:28:44 AEST ]]>
