Search for possible missing swimmer


 Coastguard and lifeboat crews have been searching Studland bay for a possible missing swimmer tonight. 

A member of the public was concern for a swimmer seen heading out from Middle Beach Studland and didn’t see them return to the beach.

Swanage Coastguard carried out shore line searches from South Beach Studland to the Chain ferry whilst lifeboats from Swanage and Poole carried out sea searches off shore. 

Searching for two hours the beach was checked for clothing or any person. 

If you were swimming off Middle or South Beach Studland around 5pm tonight (Monday) please urgently contact the Coastguard on 999. 

Dorset Police also attended the incident and confirmed no one was currently missing in the area.

Search assets have been stood down pending any further information.
