KwaZulu-Natal: At 09H40 Saturday morning, Netcare 911 responded to a drowning on North Beach, Durban.

Reports indicate that a mother and daughter got into difficulty swimming.

Ethekwini lifeguards who witnessed the swimmers in distress were quick to respond and managed to pull both swimmers to shore.

When medics arrived on scene, they found both patients on the beach. The mother was in a stable condition and declined any treatment, however the 10-year-old child had ingested seawater and was in severe respiratory distress.

The young girl was treated on scene by Netcare 911 emergency care practitioners and once stabilised was transported to hospital for further care.
