Swimmer rescued off Haifa coast by naval submarine crew
By Anshel Pfeffer

A swimmer swept away off the Haifa coast was saved Tuesday by a naval submarine crew on routine patrol.

The submarine crew spotted the man showing signs of weakness after it came to the surface around five nautical miles (nine kilometers) from Haifa port late Tuesday morning.

The crew raised the man aboard and a medic gave him first aid.

He was then transferred to a naval base, before being taken to Haifa's Rambam Hospital for medical treatment.
