A major search is under way to find two teenage boys who have disappeared while swimming off Barmouth beach in Wales.
The swimmers, aged 14 and 15, were part of a larger group visiting from Birmingham.
A Coastguard statement said: "It was reported that the people who got into difficulty in the water were part of a large group of visitors to the beach from Birmingham and the first respondent reported that they had lost sight of one of the people in the water.
"There is also another member of the group unaccounted for and the search continues for two missing people."
Local councillor Ann Griffith told the Daily Post the waters have been "very choppy" all day.
RNLI lifeboats, Coastguard rescue teams and the Coastguard helicopter from Caernarfon are all involved in the search.
Police are also assisting the operation and have urged people in a tweet to stay away from the beach.
