Following extensive search efforts along the South Coast of England, the coastguard announced that its active search for two men reported missing after a Christmas Day swim has been discontinued. The search commenced promptly after reports indicated that two individuals had gone into the water under uncertain conditions. Despite numerous patrols, underwater searches, and aerial reconnaissance, no conclusive evidence of their whereabouts has been found, leading authorities to stand down search operations for the current stage. The coastguard emphasized that the decision was based on comprehensive assessments of the ongoing search and the absence of new leads. Efforts to locate the two men will remain ongoing through other means, including local inquiries and community assistance, although no active rescue operation is presently in progress, thus reflecting standard protocols in lost-at-sea incidents of this nature.
