I really don't know much about rip tides but going to beach in Destin in a couple weeks. Is that something you can get caught in right off the beach swimming in?

absolutely!
basically, a rip current is the flow of water returning to the gulf. When a wave crashes on the beach, all that water returns to the gulf via the path of least resistance. The rip can be strong enough to knock you off of your feet in 2 foot of water
