Swimmers rescued after being trapped in rip
Two swimmers were rescued after becoming trapped in a rip current off a Cornish beach on Thursday.
RNLI lifeguards and the St Agnes coastguard rescued the swimmers at 17:08 BST at Perranporth beach and they were taken to hospital by waiting ambulances.
The coastguard thanked members of the public for calling the emergency services and said this made a "significant difference to the outcome".
They went on to remind beach-goers to swim between the flags and make sure friends and family know where they are.
