 2 swimmers rescued from rip current off New York City beach New York City firefighters rescued two swimmers who were caught in a rip current near Rockaway Beach on Sunday evening. Officials reported that a man and woman were seen being rapidly pulled into the water and toward the end of a jetty. Firefighters immediately swam out, reaching the man first and bringing him safely back to shore before returning to rescue the woman. Rip currents are narrow, fast-moving channels of water that flow away from the shore, often forming in waters 10 feet deep or less. They are typically 25 yards wide or smaller, but can extend hundreds of yards from shore. Speeds usually range from 1 to 2 feet per second but can reach up to 8 feet per second, faster than any recorded Olympic swimmer, which makes them especially dangerous for beachgoers. According to NOAA, rip currents are responsible for roughly 100 deaths annually. In 2025 alone, 78 people have already died due to these powerful currents.
