A 55-year-old lifeguard rescues four members of a British family from drowning in the sea off Fuerteventura. The incident involves the family getting into trouble far from shore, and the lifeguard reaching them and keeping them afloat until other help arrives.
Multiple outlets report that other rescuers praise the lifeguard for his physical fitness and ability to swim out to the group despite the distance from the beach. While details on the precise circumstances and timing are not provided consistently across coverage, all accounts describe an emergency at sea and a successful outcome following the lifeguard’s intervention.
