IPSS Medical Rescue's Paul Herbst says the two ignored the nationwide lockdown regulations and went for a Sunday dip in the ocean.
"IPSS Medical Rescue received a call for two swimmers that were being swept out to sea at Salmon Bay in Ballito."
"On arrival of our rescue team ascertained that two swimmers were out at backline in distress. Rescue swimmers swam out and assisted both father and daughter back to shore."
