A man was pulled from the waves after getting into trouble swimming at Horseshoe Beach last night.He was rescued by a large group of people who had been playing volleyball at the beach.The drama unfolded around 745pm when players were just finishing the last games of the evening.The waves were heavy and up to ten feet high but there were still several swimmers braving them.Richard Madeiros, one of the volleyball players, said: “People were screaming ‘there’s a guy drowning’.“A guy found him at the bottom. Seven of us swam him in yelling for someone to call an ambulance.”Paget resident Adam Birch spotted the man’s body at the bottom of the sea and pulled him up.But it took about six of the volleyball players to bring him out of the water.“It was a really big effort to bring him to shore,” said Mr Birch. “It was such a great team effort.”He said the man, who was unresponsive when he was brought to shore, was lucky that there was a volleyball game going on at the time.“He’s a very lucky guy,” agreed Sebastien Iaxx, another volleyball player who witnessed the drama.Ariel Mierzejewski, who works at the hospital did CPR on the victim who was not breathing and did not have a pulse.“He pounded his chest, he spat up salt water then police and paramedics came and he was breathing when he left,” said Mr Madeiros who described the man as being in his mid 40s.Mr Mierzejewski told The Royal Gazette that the man regained consciousness by the time he was taken away by ambulance.“It was pretty remarkable,” he said. “All these athletes jumped right in and there was no second guessing at all. It was rough waters.“It was really nice to see, very heartwarming.”Two police officers responded, as well as an EMT unit. But police could provide no details on the incident by presstime last night.
