Members of a swimming group sprang into action to save the 53-year-old in peril at Tynemouth.

"The waves looked OK and my friends weren't far away from me and walked out because it was so shallow," she said.

She was treated on the shore by members of Tynemouth Volunteer Life Brigade and taken to hospital for checks. "The tide was turning, wind coming down the coast. There was quite a maelstrom. Two of them [swimmers] were together, with one on their own, struggling to get back in," he said.He picked up the life ring and asked someone else to alert the Coastguard.

He described reaching the woman in peril as "a lovely feeling" and praised the two "brilliant" women on the rope.
