RNLI: Swimmer 'called for help' during charity race
Around 58 people were rescued from the sea after getting into difficulty during a charity swim off the coast of Southwold in Suffolk, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) said.
Lifeguards helped a further 27 people who were unable to continue swimming against the strong tide.
Simon Callaghan, helmsman at Southwold RNLI, said:
We were out on a regular Sunday exercise when we heard a swimmer calling for help. After that we had one of the busiest times I can remember, rescuing 58 people altogether.
Our volunteer crew, the lifeguards and other rescue teams involved all responded brilliantly and may have averted what could have become a much more serious incident.
