A surfer has warned young people about the potential dangers of sea-swimming after rescuing a young girl from the water at Ballygally beach near Larne.
The 14-year-old had gotten into difficulty and was stranded about 500 feet from the shore when her friends alerted two surfers at around 4pm on Saturday.
One of the men was able to paddle out to the girl and pull her onto his board before getting her back to the safety of the beach.
