RipWise

Each year in Australia, rip currents claim the lives of 26 people, making them the deadliest hazard on Australian beaches. In 2022-23, every single one of these tragedies occurred at an unpatrolled beach. RipWise is a digital kiosk placed at these unpatrolled locations across Australia, designed to reduce the risk posed by rip currents. Our solution is twofold: RipWise guides swimmers to a designated 'safe swim zone' to ensure their immediate safety; as well as providing essential education on identifying and escaping rip currents.
