A baïne is a hollow in the sand filled with water that can create a current pulling out to sea: even a strong swimmer cannot fight it. Reflex: swim parallel to the shore to get out of it, never straight against it.
Baïne — Definition Baïne
A series of regular hollows resembling natural pools, which can generate a current, sometimes powerful, pulling swimmers out to sea.

Did you know
In the Mont-Saint-Michel bay, the sea can rise by about 6 km/h: it is best never to venture in alone, and always to cross the bay with a guide.
