A MAN who tried to rescue four young people from the surf got into trouble himself and died.
Emergency crews rushed to Patonga, on the NSW Central Coast, about 2.30pm on Saturday.
The four young people, including children, were visiting from Asia and staying with the man, police say.
They were swimming in Patonga Creek when they were taken out by the tide.
The man, aged in his 60s, tried to rescue them before he also got into trouble.
Onlookers came to their aid using a boat and pulled all five from the water before racing them to the shore.
Members of the public performed CPR on the man until police and paramedics arrived but the man died at the scene.
A NSW Ambulance spokeswoman said one of the four young people, an 18-year-old woman, swallowed water before she was transported to Gosford Hospital in a stable condition.
The three others who were with the victims were also transported to hospital but only to receive language translation services.
A full investigation is underway into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
