Nice topic, thanks. I had always wondered what I would do in this situation, and my intuition was that I would do exactly what I do when caught in a rip tide. It is a bit counterintuitive to let yourself be carried until you can swim at 90 degrees to it. But I have had a lot of practice here in NC. The first time pulling another kid out of one in a headlock when I was 10. Seems to me that the main thing is to stay calm and not exhaust yourself trying to swim directly against it.
