As beach season kicks off on Aquidneck Island, swi As beach season kicks off on Aquidneck Island, swimmers are reminded to stay vigilant for rip currents—fast-moving channels of water that can pull even strong swimmers away from shore in seconds. These powerful currents are most commonly found at Easton’s Beach (1st Beach) and Sachuest Beach (2nd Beach), where wave conditions and coastal features create prime conditions for their formation. According to the U.S. Lifesaving Association, rip currents are the leading surf hazard nationwide, responsible for more than 100 deaths each year—more than the combined toll of shark attacks, lightning strikes, and tornadoes. They account for at least 80% of lifeguard rescues. Rip currents can move at speeds up to 8 feet per second and often develop near sandbars, jetties, and piers. They’re not always easy to spot, but swimmers can look for: * Gaps in breaking waves * Narrow channels of churning, choppy water * Lines of foam or debris heading out to sea Know What to Do: * Stick to beaches with lifeguards on duty. * Check NOAA’s daily surf zone forecasts. If caught in a rip current: * Don’t panic or fight the current. * Swim parallel to the beach until you’re out of the flow. * Float or tread water if needed, and wave for help. Staying informed and alert is key to enjoying a safe day at the beach. #newportri #newportbuzz #ripcurrent
In a clash that blended history, precision, and pu In a clash that blended history, precision, and pure dominance, Claire Fahey cemented her legacy Friday in Newport by defeating Lea Van Der Zwalmen to win her record-tying eighth consecutive Ladies Real Tennis World Championship. It was a final loaded with significance: the first-ever best-of-five set match in the history of women’s real tennis, and a shot at history for both athletes. Fahey was chasing her eighth straight crown, which places her alongside the legendary Pierre Etchebaster as the second most decorated player in real tennis history—behind only her husband, Robert Fahey. Van Der Zwalmen, meanwhile, was attempting to become the first athlete to simultaneously hold the world singles titles in both rackets and real tennis. The early going was all tactics, no theatrics. Both players worked the angles, probing for weaknesses, but it was Fahey who seized momentum. After edging ahead 2–0, she shifted gears, attacking Van Der Zwalmen’s forehand with purpose and taking the opening set in a flawless 6–0 sweep. Van Der Zwalmen found brief footing in the second, winning the opening game and changing pace with heavy spin and cut. But Fahey stayed composed, weathering the pressure and dialing in. Her confidence surged again as she rattled off six straight games to close the second set. The third saw Van Der Zwalmen swing harder and take more risks, landing a few spectacular winners—but also too many errors. Fahey’s composure and tactical superiority proved unshakeable. At championship point, with a better-than-a-yard chase on the scoreboard, Van Der Zwalmen’s return clipped the line. Fahey let her racket fall and raised her arms skyward, champion once again. #realtennis #newportri #newportbuzz
