'I was out of my depth' - Teen recalls terror before being rescued by RNLI |
Now, the 13-year-old has paid a visit to the team that helped rescue him from drowning during the school break.
Just over four months ago Samantha Ozdemir and her son, Kaan, visited Wells on the north Norfolk coast for a fun day out with friends.
It was the first day of the summer holidays and the weather was already very hot, prompting Kaan and his friends to go for a swim to cool off.
"They were enjoying the sea and going along with the flow of the water, left to right towards the lifeboat station and floating back down,” Ms Ozdemir said.
"The tide was coming up so I thought they were going to get closer, but it hadn’t got over the lip of the beach yet.
“When Kaan couldn’t put his feet down he knew he was in difficulty and out of his depth. He headed onto the sandbank for safety but that quickly disappeared.”
