by Louise Bevan

Lifeboat crews off the coast of Ireland rescued a missing swimmer who had been stranded at sea for around 12 hours after dolphins raised the alert.

A search party was launched from Castlegregory, County Kerry, on Aug. 22 when abandoned clothes were found on the beach. A volunteer All-Weather Lifeboat crew from the Royal National Lifeboat Institution’s (RNLI) Fenit branch was deployed by the Irish Coast Guard at 11 a.m. Fenit RNLI’s inshore lifeboat and a Rescue 115 helicopter joined the search party.

At 8:30 p.m. they spotted “a head above the water” among a pod of dolphins, according to RNLI’s press release.

“This was a very lucky individual,” Gerard O’Donnell, the operations manager of Fenit RNLI Lifeboat, said in the statement.
