Concerns for a man who was late back from his swim prompted an alert on the coast.
The RNLI’s lifeboat in Lyme Regis was launched on Sunday evening following reports of a swimmer overdue from his swim between Seatown and Charmouth.
Shortly after launching the lifeboat crew were stood down on hearing that the swimmer was safe and well ashore.
The crew said this was the 41st call answered by the Lyme Regis volunteers so far this year.
The crew featured on the BBC2 documentary Saving Lives at Sea last week, which follows the men and women of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution.
The episode - which can be watched again on BBC iPlayer - followed the crew as they faced a frantic search for three fishermen whose boat had capsized in the River Axe.
