Units from the Greystones/Wicklow coast guard also attended the scene.
A WOMAN HAS been taken to hospital after she and another woman got into difficulty while swimming off Bray seafront in Co Wicklow yesterday evening.

It’s understood that a Spanish student rescued both women from the water, injuring themselves in the process.
Both women were recovered from the water before nightfall.
Gardaí, ambulance crews, and members of the Greystones/Wicklow Coast Guard – including both land and sea units – attended the scene.
One of the women was taken to St Vincent’s University Hospital in Dublin for treatment. Her current condition is not known.
