I am like you Mike. Lifeguard, swimteam etc when I was younger. Still swim like a fish. The most important thing is to remain calm and not to panic. The panic is what does a lot of people in. Currents and rips will eventually spit you out, if you remain calm conserve energy and keep a level head you should fare much better than you would think.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan
