What should I do if a lifeguard is whistling at me when I am in the water?

When a lifeguard is whistling at you, they are trying to alert you to move away from a dangerous area, such as in a rip current. You should follow all of the lifeguard's hand signals. If you do not know what to do or whether or not the lifeguard is whistling at you, you should get out of the water and ask the lifeguard.
