AVON-BY-THE-SEA, N.J. (CBSNewYork) As a startling wake-up call heading into the summer season, a total of six people had to be pulled from the water at Tri-State Area beaches while trying to beat the heat on Monday. <\/p>\n
Marcus Swinson witnessed a scary sight at Avon-by-the-Sea Beach Monday afternoon, when at least two women were pulled from the water near Garfield Avenue. He says one of them didnt seem like they were breathing. <\/p>\n
All I saw was them getting drug out, the woman was like not breathing, he told CBS2s Valerie Castro. Another had a cardiac arrest or like a seizure and everybody was holding her down and it looked like they did a few rounds of CPR for the one girl. <\/p>\n
2 People Rescued From Water Off Beach In Rockaways <\/p>\n
Police say three women in all were taken to the hospital in one of several incidents Monday, serving as a reminder that the waves can be a dangerous place heading into the summer. <\/p>\n
At Orchard Beach in the Bronx, a seven-year-old was pulled from the water by his own mother and taken to Jacobi Medical Center. The City Parks Department says he was in an area closed off to swimming. <\/p>\n
Later in the day, a helicopter had to be called in to help a man and woman at Rockaway Park, where police say they were 100 feet from the shore near 138 Street when they found themselves in danger. <\/p>\n
Emergency crews rushed to the beach with fire trucks and a stretcher with a rescue boat not far off-shore. <\/p>\n
With beach season almost in full swing, its important to enter the water at your own risk. <\/p>\n
The waves werent really strong, so you got to just be careful out there, Swinson said. <\/p>\n
Town officials say lifeguards in Avon-by-the-Sea have only been working weekends since Memorial Day. Theyll be on duty seven days a week starting June 17. <\/p>\n
