Girls pulled from SEA in Bundoran seek bodyboarders who saved them

Four teenage girls who were caught in a rip current in Bundoran over the weekend are trying to make contact with the bodyboarders who rescued them.

The girls got into difficulty while swimming at a beach in the County Donegal town just after 6.30pm on Saturday.

According to The Irish Times, the group had been helped to safety by a number of bodyboarders before the Bundoran Lifeboat – which had been deployed after a member of the public called 999 – arrived on the scene.

The girls were airlifted to Sligo Hospital on a precautionary basis and have since been released.

They have asked for the bodyboarders to come forward so they can thank them in person.

The group can be contacted through the Bundoran Lifeboat Station Facebook page or email at bundoran@rnli.org.uk.
