A MAN has drowned on Teewah Beach north of Noosa after he and four other swimmers had to be rescued from the surf when their inflatable pool overturned.
Rescue services said the group from Gatton, who were holidaying with friends at Fresh Water, south of Double Island Point, decided to use an inflatable pool as a boat to paddle out through the surf.
But two of the men were taken by a rip when the blow-up pool capsized. Emergency services said the other three men got "stuck in the break".
"After attempting to rescue each other, three of the men scrambled to shore, while a 21 year old and his 25 year old mate were later pulled from the water," an AGL spokesman said.
A 21-year-old male was declared dead at the scene after a failed attempt at CPR.
The 25-year-old, who was pulled unconscious, was treated by the helicopter's flight doctor and paramedic.
He was airlifted to Nambour Hospital on the Sunshine Coast, along with a 19-year-old, by AGL Action Rescue Helicopter and one was transported by road to Nambour Hospital.
Both were in a stable condition. Two other men were taken by ambulance to Noosa hospital.
There were initial reports the drowned man was believed to be 16 years old, but AGL has since said the man was aged 21.
Teewah Beach is a popular camping beach located on Noosa North Shore popular with four-wheel drivers.
