Guardia Civil, Maritime Rescue and Civil Protection officers have been conducting a search since yesterday evening for a swimmer who disappeared at El Portil beach in Huelva.
The missing man, a sixteen year old Guinean national, was at the beach with a group from the organisation Mensajeros por la Paz (Messengers for Peace). It is thought that he entered the water to help a group of young people in difficulty but then he himself got into trouble and disappeared from sight.
