Default Riptides?

So like in the military I learned survival bobbing. So like you can be completely relaxed and bobbing in the water breathing when the swells push your nose above the waves.

Will this not work with riptides for some reason? Or is it just 100% people panic and drown themselves?

I like understand open water survival, but not this riptide thing.

I understand swimming against the current towards the shore is always a really bad idea.
