IC Wales report:
A 53-year-old man was taken to hospital tonight after trying to rescue a child who got into difficulties in the sea.
A Milford Haven coastguard said the incident happened at Mwnt, West Wales, earlier this evening.
The coastguard said: "The child made it ashore on his own but the man got into difficulties.
"He was winched by a rescue helicopter and taken to Morriston Hospital in Swansea."
The coastguard said that the same rescue helicopter had earlier lifted a 15-year-old boy and a 58-year-old man from the water at Llangrannog, Dyfed.
The boy had fallen from rocks and the man entered the water in a bid to rescue him.
The pair were then taken to hospital by ambulance.
