A MAN has died after being winched from the water by surf life savers on the NSW far south coast.
Officials say he was one of five swimmers who initially got into trouble near the Bega River Mouth at Tathra around 4.30pm (AEDT) on Wednesday.
Surf Life Saving (SLS) Far South Coast duty officer Andrew Edmunds said three of the group managed to make their way to shore while two others went missing.
One aged 19 was found clinging to a log, Mr Edmunds said.
"A land, sea and air search continued for the other swimmer and he was eventually spotted by police and lifesavers.
"He was winched into the Westpac Life Saver Rescue Helicopter and flown to a nearby oval at the Tathra Country Club."
Emergency services carried out CPR for over an hour but the man, believed to be 19, could not be revived.
Mr Edmunds said the men were swimming at an unpatrolled location.
