The team were tasked to Old Harry to assist three paddle boarders being swept out to sea east of Harry Old Rocks.

Thankfully someone spotted them and dialled 999 which saw the Swanage Lifeboat launched and the Coastguard team set to monitor and then meet them when they were brought ashore.

A passing yacht which responded to a broadcast message from the Coastguard managed to assist until the lifeboat arrived.

As the lifeboat made for Knoll Beach a further paddle boarder was spotted struggling in the conditions and was collected and brought ashore to be met by the Coastguard team.
