Cape Town’s young heroes rescue teen girl from drowning in Bakoven’s waters
On Sunday, July 18, a teenage girl fell off the rocks and into the icy ocean waters at Bakoven beach as reported by News24.
Tyra-Lee Penney, a 16-year-old lifeguard from Claremont who was off-duty at the time, scoped the magnitude of the situation and quickly contacted the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI)’s emergency line for urgent help.
According to NSRI’s deputy station commander, David Rosenberg, the girl who had fallen was being swept through the rocks by “rough sea swells.”
Tyra was instructed to closely monitor the situation, fetch the NSRI pink rescue buoy and get it to the girl in the rough waters.
