Multiple water rescues follow a series of drownings and other emergencies
SEASIDE HEIGHTS, N.J. (PIX11) — Police, beach patrol officers, lifeguards, and EMTs spent Tuesday evening in the surf both in Seaside Heights and neighboring Lavallette helping to rescue at least two people in distress in rough surf, and searching for one other missing swimmer. The incidents were the latest in a string of drownings, near-drownings, and water rescues in the New York-New Jersey coastal region since Sunday. More Local News The situation is raising concerns for coastal towns as temperatures continue to rise in the region, and more and more people head to the beach seeking relief from the hot weather. There's also a tropical storm out in the Atlantic that's expected to intensify an already volatile rip current condition along the coast. On Tuesday evening, the massive response on the Seaside Heights Beach near Webster Avenue happened after beachgoers saw a swimmer who'd ventured about well beyond the breakers after lifeguards' shifts ended at 5:00 p.m. 'We saw his hands go up,' said Jay Rivera, who'd alerted police about the danger. He said that the swimmer went underwater, 'and we didn't see him come back up.' The search continued Tuesday evening, exactly 24 hours after another emergency in the exact same location. On Monday evening, a 31-year-old man drowned after being pulled out into a rip current with a group of four other people at around 6:30 p.m on Monday. Person dies after getting caught in rip current in NJ: Official In that case, a police beach patrol spotted the group in distress. 'We were quick,' said Police Chief Thomas Boyd. 'If we weren't there within two minutes, there would have been five lives lost. One 16-year-old took on a lot of water. We almost lost him, but he made it.' That drowning happened hours after a 77-year-old woman drowned off Manhattan Beach in Brooklyn. She has been identified as Liudmila Marchenko. Both drownings were the latest in a string of more than half a dozen water emergencies. There was a water rescue off Great Kills Beach, Staten Island, on Monday; another water rescue in Rockland Lake, NY, on Sunday; a drowning in Sea Bright, NJ, on Sunday; a water rescue in Smithtown, Long Island, on Sunday; and a near-drowning in Wantaugh on Sunday. Chief Boyd said that the way to reduce the number of incidents is simple. 'It's just common sense,' he said in an interview. 'If there's no lifeguard there, don't swim. Don't swim.' Meanwhile, the mayor of Seaside Heights, Tony Vaz, said that his town is stepping up its efforts to make sure that beachgoers follow important, potentially lifesaving rules, including not going into the water above their knees after lifeguards end their shifts. More: Latest News from Around the Tri-State Among measures that the town is taking, Vaz said, is that warning signs for swimmers that are currently posted in English are also being printed in Spanish. 'Plus, the chief has authorized his officers,' Vaz said, regarding interaction with beachgoers, 'if they are belligerent about getting out of the water, we'll issue them a ticket. And if they're belligerent afterward, they'll be arrested.' He also said that his town is among many down the Shore that are bracing for the effects of Tropical Storm Erin. No matter what it brings, he said, the same rules always apply: it's safest to stay out of the water unless a lifeguard is there on duty. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
