POLICE said a tragedy was averted off the Costa Blanca on Saturday- after two young children were rescued after they were swept out to sea on an inflatable.
A Denia Policia Local patrol boat spotted the youngsters, aged just four and six, on the board which had drifted out a kilometre from the coast, with the wind getting stronger.
They were not wearing life jackets and clearly had not been supervised by their parents.
