Two men died after entering the water at Seaton Carew, near Hartlepool, in an attempt to rescue two children who had got into difficulty in the sea

"The sea can be brutal". That is the stark warning issued by rescue teams after tragedy struck on the Teesside coastline.

Two men died after entering the water at Seaton Carew, near Hartlepool, while attempting to rescue two children who had got into difficulty in the sea.

The youngsters were saved, but the men — one of whom has been named locally as the children's father, Wayne Taylor — were pronounced dead after being pulled from the water by emergency services. Rescuers are now urging anyone planning trips to the beach this summer to be mindful of this tragedy and the dangers the sea can present, reports Chronicle Live.

In a statement, the Redcar Coastguard Rescue Team said: "The sea can be brutal. This weekend ended in a tragedy with two people losing their lives at Seaton Carew. What started off as a normal sunny, warm and fun day at the beach turned into a life changing event. Three young people entered the water at Seaton Carew and got into trouble.

"Three adults entered the water to help them. The three young people were saved but very sadly two of the adults had to be rescued by emergency services and lost their lives. Our thoughts are with the families in this very difficult time and also our colleagues from the RNLI, ambulance and other emergency services who attended this incident."

"It highlights the importance of water safety with the summer holidays just around the corner."

Seaham Coastguard added in a statement: "The beach is a great place to be, but it can also have many hidden dangers."

Just 24 hours following the tragedy, volunteers from Hartlepool RNLI were called upon to undertake three separate rescues in the area. Crew members were alerted at 3.40pm on Monday by Humber Coastguard to support emergency services with an individual stranded on rocks at the South Pier in Middleton, Hartlepool.

The inshore lifeboat and four volunteer crew members transported the casualty on a stretcher to the lifeboat before returning to shore, where they were handed over to paramedics.

Hartlepool RNLI lifeboat operations manager Steve Pounder said: "Good communications between ourselves, Coastguard, fire service and the ambulance service brought the incident to a safe conclusion. It's been a busy week for the volunteers whose commitment to the charity has been outstanding."

Later that evening, Hartlepool RNLI were paged at 6.10pm to aid four individuals who were in difficulty in the water at Crimdon Dene on the East Durham coast. The inshore lifeboat 'Solihull' and all-weather lifeboat 'John Sharp' launched to attend the incident.

The inshore lifeboat crew rescued one person who had swallowed a significant amount of seawater and was suffering from severe cold. The casualty was brought back to the lifeboat station where paramedics were on standby to provide treatment.

The remaining three individuals had managed to make their own way back to the beach earlier. While making its way to Crimdon, the all-weather lifeboat was subsequently redirected to Ryhope, near Sunderland, following reports that a group of paddle boarders were at risk of being swept out to sea.

Shortly afterwards, the paddle boarders managed to reach the safety of the shoreline, and the all-weather lifeboat was stood down.
