Clive Chambers, 41, had travelled from London to Clacton for a much-needed break by the seaside. Following a stay at the Lemon Tree Hotel, in Orwell Road, he decided to venture down to the seafront for an early morning dip at about 8.30am yesterday. Shortly after arriving at a beach, to the right of Clacton Pier, Mr Chambers, who is a strong swimmer currently practising to swim the England Channel, heard someone screaming for help. He quickly noticed a 12-year-old girl struggling to stay afloat in a section of water off the shore - and the tide was quickly dragging her further out to sea.
