A girl saved her sister's life with a simple piece of advice after she was swept out to sea.
Mabel Smith, 12, from Birkenhead, was paddling in the sea on Barmouth beach in North Wales with her sister Elsie, 10, when they started to get into difficulty in the water. Mum Milena, who cannot swim, and dad, Dave, were watching the sisters from the shore when Mabel was swept a quarter of a mile out to sea, unable to swim against the strong current, North Wales Live reports.
Mabel said both her and Elsie were knocked off their feet by a "big wave" and were unable to get back up. They quickly realised the danger they were in and began screaming for help.
