At 07h00, Sunday, 15 March, while NSRI had launched to provide logistics support to a group of jet-skiers we were activated when an NSRI trainee crew person noticed a swimmer in distress in the channel at Pelican Island.
Our NSRI rescue craft JetRIB responded and on arrival on the scene we found an adult male in distress in the water while swimming.
The man was rescued to shore.
He was not injured and after we reunited him with family members he required no further assistance.
Our NSRI trainee is commended for her vigilance - for her noticing a man appearing to be in distress in the water from a distance and swiftly raising the alarm resulting in a life saved.
