'The stuff of miracles': Heroic woman rescues five-year-old girl swept out to sea

Police said five-year-old Noema Sampson was with friends paddling in shallow water close to shore in a kayak at the dog beach at Augusta, on the south-west coast of Western Australia, on Wednesday afternoon when she was hit by a strong current.

Mr Tubb said Ms Enderes was working a waitressing shift at the Colour Patch Cafe, when she heard what was going on and ran to the scene.

"She stripped off, dived into the cold water and swam at least 500 metres to the kayak and brought the girl back to the shore with endurance that is very difficult given the conditions," he said.

"As it happened, all are safe and well, but if it was not for Ms Enderes, I think this young girl may not be alive today."
