 My name is Kerry Saunders and my son is Aaron. We were camping down Llangennith last summer with a few friends and family. We went for a walk over to Bluepool and at that time we saw a young boy being washed out to sea. Aaron attempted to go out to rescue him in the first instance and realised that the current was too strong and I went into the water after that. I managed to get to the little boy. Attempted to tow him in various ways. We weren't successful so I realised that the best chance of survival was for us to float on our back until we got separated eventually and then Aaron and I rescued us. We were both lifted to Morrison Hospital by the coast guards where I was treated for hypothermia. We are trying to get signs erected in the area so that people are made aware of the dangers of the current there. We've got a local councillor and MP who are assisting. Hopefully it will be progressing and hopefully we'll see some signage sooner rather than later. I'd like to thank the R&I and the coast guards that came to our rescue. Without them it may well have been a very different ending to our story. I'm sure anybody that was capable of swimming or thought they could attempt the rescue would do the same but they are honoured to be nominated.
