Morecambe hovercraft has been called out to a report of somebody struggling in the water in the bay.
His Majesty’s Coastguard called out the Morecambe RNLI volunteer crew on Wednesday July 24 at 2.19pm.
A report had been received of a person struggling in the water off the shore at Thornton Road.
A spokesperson for Morecambe RNLI said: "Operations Manager Paul Turner immediately authorised the launch of Morecambe’s inshore lifeboat to make to the area to assist.
"Upon the crew's arrival a member of public had entered the water with a life belt and had assisted the person back to shore.
"No medical intervention was necessary and once (they had) checked everyone was OK, the crew made back to the boat house ready for the next shout.
"We advise that anyone making attempts to assist anyone in distress in the water must ensure their safety and take necessary precautions.
"In this case the person assisting used one of the life belts on the promenade which resulted in a successful rescue. If in any doubt call 999 and ask for coastguard."
