A Pennsylvania couple vacationing in Florida with their six children drowned after getting caught by a rip current while swimming, authorities said. The family was at Stuart Beach on Hutchinson Island Thursday afternoon when the parents and two of their teenage children were swept out, according to Martin County's sheriff's office and fire rescue.
The parents 'were in panic mode and unfortunately went under,' Budensiek said. Swimmers are told not to swim against the current and to swim to shore only after getting out of the current.
