Southport Lifeboat tasked by Holyhead Coastguard to Formby Beach to a person in difficulty in the water.
The Lifeboat arrived at the scene at 16:04 and were stood down, but immediately tasked to Ainsdale to help search for a missing child.
The Crew arrived at Shore Road at 16:10 and were stood down at 16:15 as the Lifeguards had located the child.
Well done to all involved.
