This is the moment coastguards save a dozy holidaymaker after her lilo was swept out to sea while she snoozed in the sun.

The 33-year-old woman had been relaxing in the sea off the coast of Poland on 11th July when she fell asleep and did not notice that she was being swept out into the Baltic Sea.

Powerful tidal currents could have taken her all the way to Kalmar on the Swedish coast more than 300 miles away.

Police say the woman, who has not been named in local media, was still fast asleep when they spotted her drifting more than 1,200 feet from the shore and went to investigate.

Video footage of the rescue shows the woman, still apparently dozing, face down on the lilo wearing a pink bikini as rescuers pull up in their boat.
