Firstly accept the situation - don't panic. Go with it; stay afloat; breathe normally; wait until you're free of the strongest current, then if you are a long way from shore, raise your hand as a distress signal. Swim slowly, conserving you energy, towards the shore.
That's all very well, but who has the presence of mind to do all that at the time, I wonder? I doubt I would!

You swim sideways from the rip current instead of going forward against it. It will save your life.

Swim PARALLEL to the shore until you're out of it, THEN swim toward shore. Don't try to fight it - you can't, and you'll just sap your energy.
