Montreal teens hailed as heroes for saving couple from drowning in Barbados

Two teenage girls from Montreal are being called heroes after a dramatic water rescue in Barbados. The West Island vacationers were relaxing at the Carribean beach after boogie boarding when they noticed a woman struggling to swim approximately 50 feet from the shore. “I went out to her and she told me her husband was further out and he was struggling to swim,” 13-year-old Zoe Meklensek-Ireland said. "The undertow that day was pretty strong, which I think contributed to the fact of them being pulled out,” 14-year-old Emma Bassermann added. After bringing the couple back to shore safely, the girls are enjoying the rest of their vacation. Global’s Amanda Jelowicki reports.
