Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away from shore. They can sweep even strong and experienced swimmers out to sea.
About 100 swimmers drown every year after getting caught in rip currents, according The National Ocean Service.
A man drowned on Friday night in Miami Beach and another man drowned on Saturday in Key Biscayne.
