This afternoon, at approximately 1:25 pm, coastguards were alerted to a person in the water off the coast of Eastbourne, East Sussex. The Eastbourne Inshore Lifeboat was promptly paged and launched, along with a coastguard helicopter from Lydd and local coastguard teams.
The lifeboat successfully located the individual and retrieved them from the water, bringing them safely ashore to waiting paramedics, coastguards, and police officers. A skilled paramedic from the coastguard helicopter was winched down onto the beach to assist with the medical emergency.
