When officers arrived on scene, Grand Beach-Beach Safety Officers had pulled both a 12-year-old boy and an 11-year-old girl from the water. The two children were in the water together and being supervised by the parents of the 12-year-old boy when one of the parents lost track of the children due to the setting sun.
Police say that both families and their children are from Winnipeg.
