Lifeguards & Beach Safety: Rip Currents in Ocean City, MD

The Ocean City, Maryland, Beach Patrol began in 1930 with one lifeguard watching over several blocks of swimming beach. The beach patrol now numbers nearly 200 lifeguards watching over 10.5 miles of public beach. The lifeguards know that rip currents can put swimmers' lives at risk ---- most drownings on American beaches are rip current drownings. The message to beachgoers is: swim to the side!
