RNLI lifeguards patrolling Tenby South beach went to the aid of a group of 40 people when the sandbank they were walking on shifted on 25 July.

The 36 children and 4 adults were suddenly out of their depth. Two lifeguards entered the water with rescue boards and tubes, helping the people safely to shore. Another lifeguard radioed the Coastguard. The lifeguards performed initial first aid, and paramedics were soon on scene.
