What was she doing out there if she can't swim or is a poor swimmer?

Sneaker wave pulls you and then rip current can take you way out. Most try to fight the current, get tired and then drown. If caught in one, swim parallel to the beach until you are out of the current. Then use waves to help push you as you swim back to shore.
