At 09.55 this morning, H.M. Coastguard requested the launch of the RNLI Exmouth lifeboat following a report of an unresponsive sea swimmer being helped from the water at Budleigh Salterton.
The ILB George Bearman II and three volunteer crew launched at 10.00 and set off at best speed to the location.
Upon arriving at scene, the casualty had recovered sufficiently to be supported by members of the public and the Exmouth Coastguard Rescue team to a waiting ambulance.
Our volunteer crew was therefore stood down and returned to station.
