At 15h30 on 26 December 2011, NSRI Wilderness volunteer sea rescue duty crew were activated following reports of a child drowning at Wilderness.
On arrival on-scene it was found that lifeguards had rescued the child from the surf and were treating the child for near drowning symptoms and a Metro EMS ambulance has transported the child to hospital in a serious but stable condition.
Then at 16h55 NSRI Wilderness responded to Kleinkrans where a female was reportedly swept out to sea.
The female had washed out onto the beach where an off-duty paramedic dragged her out of the water and initiated CPR (Cardio Pulmonary resuscitation) efforts.
NSRI medics and Metro EMS paramedics continued with CPR and a pulse and breathing was successfully restored before the 27 year old female, from George, has been airlifted to hospital by the Metro EMS Skymed helicopter in a critical condition.
