A FORMER Victorian police officer risked his life to rescue a woman who was seen to be struggling in rough surf.
Matthew Paynter was at the Brighton Baths Health club in Melbourne's southeast on Saturday when he heard a woman was caught in waves about half a kilometre from shore.
He dived into the ocean and brought her safely to shallows where another man, Andrew Krzywniak, helped the pair out of the water.
Victoria Police said the conditions were "extremely rough", but Mr Paynter did not hesitate to rescue the woman.
Water Police Senior Constable Patrick Yeung said the situation would have ended tragically if had not been for the two men.
"These two men have risked their own lives to help a woman who needed assistance with no thought to their own safety," he said.
A 43-year-old Mount Waverley woman was taken to The Alfred hospital for treatment.
