Porthcawl RNLI rescue a 12 year old boy swept out to sea 

royal national lifeguard institution in the uk. volunteer charity. extraordinary people.

bloody hell......This can bring a tear to the eye of a 42 year old bloke. My son is also 12. These people who do this type of work are the real hero's in my book! Thank God for them!

He was probably caught in a rip tide. Luckily those fantastic people where able to save him, the rnli do a brilliant job and should be celebrated more in the media.

the rnli lifeboat crew are complete legends!

Well done from a us coast guard veteran

Great job guys. 100% respect.

great job, greatings from a norwegian red cross lifeguard

Just incredible. Support the RNLI!

Outstanding work, nothing but praise for these wonderful volunteers 👌👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️

Just fantastic people ! Great skill and expertise

absolute legends. I bet they don't have to pay for a drink in the pub... I fucking hope not x

Nice video glad they got to him. That lifeboat has one powerful engine.

Unbelievable spot by the 4th man! Legend.

Smart work. Surprised the skipper went forward at the beginning. Couldn't understand what was going on there. Great to see such skill and teamwork.

@isbrealiomdonie Thanks for your lovely comment!

Thank you we all appreciate you

He’ll be about 22/23 now and could be watching this! 🤔👍

Awesome job 👏🏻

fantastic job

INFO on this: The boy, Michael Lally from the Wirral, was on holiday in Porthcawl with his family when he was swept out from Trecco Bay as an offshore wind blew his dinghy out to sea. His step father tried in vain to swim to his rescue but the dinghy was being blown too fast for him to catch. Fortunately the incident was watched by other people on the beach who quickly dialled 999. Swansea Coastguard paged Porthcawl RNLI volunteer lifeboat crew for an immediate launch. The Wales Air Ambulance was also diverted to attend the incident together with land based paramedics and Porthcawl Coastguard Unit.

Angels of the sea

Bloody heroes,!!!

Great job lads.

God bless you all

good job

LES ANGES DE LA PLANÈTE

Good job mates👍

nice work

Well done

WOOOOOOO

And suddenly hè has 4 daddies

That boy is now 24

Just in time

You forgot his buddy Wilson!

i want to be a volunteer

Cannot understand how a lonely boy was swept out to sea and there was not a single soul on the land. The person or persons , who phoned the rescue team should have followed him on the land and I am sure other people would have been present. Then perhaps someone had a pair of good binoculars and saw the boy in distress from a long distance from which the boat was launched, but I do doubt it. I must admit I do not fully understand !

why isnt the RNLI government funded?

Z

Someone forgot about seats 2 and 3 🫤

Brings me to tears when I see the RNLI doing what they do 🇬🇧

12 thumbs down? What kind of world are we living in?

@GowerWaterSports Thanks for your lovely comments! Just to reassure you, as a charity entirely separate from Government, our service is not affected by the cuts being proposed. We continue to rely on the generosity of our supporters and the general public in order to maintain our vital lifesaving work. So please tell all your friends!

Who would think that as an island nation we must ask these brave men & women to risk their own lives for free !

love how they gave the kid one of their helmets ! haha

What does training, equipment, preparation, and courage look like? May we present Exhibit A?

You lad are badass as they say in America... Lol been watching many videos. Wonderful work you all do! ✌💗😊❣

Nicely done guys. Greatings from a fellow dutch lifeguard.

From America and I’ve just discovered these videos and love them in fact you would never see this on the beaches all we maybe have are guys with a jet ski possibly and a little floating board for lifeguards on beaches

Hope this boys parents shout each of these volunteers a nice meal at the end of this rescue.

He must have incredible eyesight to make that call from so far away. Top marks.

brave work, everyone should try to support the RNLI financially, they're totally dependent on donations from us and they're always risking their lives to help us so let's give them something back so if you ever need them they can be there for you and your family

RNLI is the best! Greetings from Canada!

Impressive stamina of the boy and slick rescue. The music's a bit much though.

Why anyone would thumb down RNLI videos is beyond me. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Great job lads

Thank god for the RNLI Brighton Lifeboat rescue team..That was a fast rescue on that boy .Can't imagine how the parents were feeling on the shore.Things happen so fast at sea so glad it turned out great.Those men were so fast .

The RNLI are absolute heroes 😊

looks like they have helo's at 0:47 !! :D

Crikey! How is he still alive?! He must be a damn good Swimmer! And more interestingly how in the name of God did the Crew manage to see him in the water?!

Brilliant quick rescue of a very scared young boy. BUT what I would really like to know is what that boy, now a 20 year old man thinks abut it. And thinking about it if it had not been for these guys he may not have seen 20 years old. Guess I will never know. Thanks RNLI

good job guys

Wow wow wow wow ,,,bravo

awesome lads,dont forget to clip the seat down next time .

i love you guys

That was so close to the shoreline that I that really do not understand why the boy was in trouble.

The volunteer 'lads and lasses' of the RNLI. Proper superheroes.

Why on earth are the RNLI not paid for from government coffers? I think the crews should be well paid for what they do, afterall they risk their lives every time they do out to a rescue.

These guys don’t fuck around...

If that was me i would also ask to try his helmet on lol

Great job guys.

God bless

Thease people are amazing angels off sea no words can explain them

Who dislikes these videos?

real heros

They sure are 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Sea angels ❤️

You'd be so worried to what you were going to find! Well done. If I was that boys dad I'd be scarred for life. What if you guys weren't there? What would we do without you? It doesn't bear thinking about!

So close to shore. But caught in a current that possible ‘ripped’ the lad away from shore shows how easy it is to be swept out to sea. Such admiration for these superb men and ladies who put there lives at risk in the hope that a life is saved. 👍

Outstanding work guys with thanks from all the security at trecco bay

Well done to the RNLI. Why do parents still let their children use these dinghys?

True heroes 👏❤
