Maui firefighters and a Maui County Ocean Safety Jet Ski unit rescued four swimmers in distress Sunday at Keawakapu Beach in Kihei.

Rough and windy conditions prevailed as a fire crew found four victims in need of help.

Two fire rescue swimmers made contact with the victims, three of whom were hanging onto a rescue tube, while the other was kept afloat on another rescue tube.

Fire personnel remained with the victims until the Jetski unit arrived and brought the three back to shore. An Ocean Safety lifeguard helped the fourth person back to shore.

None of the individuals were injured and all declined medical attention.

“The conditions in that area can change really quickly on a typical tradewind day,” Fire Services Chief Rylan Yatsuhiro said. “One minute it can be calm and glassy and the next the windline comes in and you’re dealing with choppy windy conditions.”

Yatsuhiro said two of the victims were from California, a 65-year-old man and a 51-year-old woman.

The Rotary Club of Kihei/Wailea had placed the rescue tubes on the beach as a community project. They were meant to provide buoyancy for distressed swimmers, the Maui Fire Department said.
