The young man was in waters above his head and due to the strong current, was unable to swim back in and actually went under at one point.The beach supervisor called 9-1-1 which resulted in response from the Police Department, Fire EMT and AMR Ambulance. Fortunately medical attention was not necessary, East Haven officials said.
Mayor Joseph Maturo Jr. presented each with a “Certificate of Recognition”.
