As the team proceeded they were made aware of a child being swept out to sea on an inflatable dinghy. Diverting from the jet ski the Coastguard arrived to find a lifeguard and safety boat bringing the young Male ashore. With some safety advice the Coastguard left and carried on with the original task.
The four people using the ski had got a rope caught which saw them struggling and damaging the hull.
Due to the distance to the nearest slipway and the rough conditions, Swanage RNLI ILB was requested.
The Coastguard team stood by to provide safety cover as there was concern if the ski was damaged there could have been some pollution.
The lifeboat arrived and go a tow rope to the ski and took it back to the boat park. The Coastguard took the four back by road to be reunited with the ski.
