Night swimming confuses young men

Six young men have been pulled out of Lake Geneva near baby plage after passers-by jumped in to help.

Emergency services were called and luckily were able to respond in less than 10 minutes after being in a training exercise nearby. They were able to put their training straight into action.

The men were spotted by locals who described them as disorientated due to it being dark.

The young men were transported by ambulance to the university hospital, but none of them are in a serious condition.

This is the 14th time someone has had to be rescued by the fire brigade this month alone.

Emergency services warned the public after the event that people should be more careful when swimming in the lake or rivers as the currents are often stronger than they look.
