**Late-Night Swim Sparks Major Rescue Operation in Conwy!**
Talk about making waves! Last night, the tranquil coastal beauty of Conwy was interrupted when reports of a swimmer in distress set off a flurry of emergency activity. The police, Coastguard, RNLI lifeboat, and even a rescue helicopter rushed to the scene by Conwy Bridge, ready for action.
Despite the adrenaline-filled response, it turns out our mystery swimmer had already made their way safely back to shore on their own, leaving the search teams with a “false alarm” on their hands. Phew!
HM Coastguard had tasked the Conwy Lifeboat at 20:13 to investigate. With three heroic volunteers aboard, the lifeboat scoured the area, assisted by North Wales Police, Llandudno Coastguard, and the Rescue 936 helicopter. It was a true team effort!
After more than an hour of thorough searching and chatting with folks along the coast and on nearby boats, the search concluded peacefully around 21:25. The lifeboat returned to base, ready for its next call to action.
Huge kudos to all the agencies involved for their swift and unified response—showing us once again that when something happens, they’re always ready to dive in!
Remember, if you ever witness someone in trouble at sea, ring 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
Stay safe, Conwy! 🌊🚤✈️
