Really sad. No information on why they were there.
People who go out to sea in boats wear layers of insulation, wetsuits or drysuits, lifejackets and other safety gear, together with lots of rules about how quickly people need to be pulled out if they do go in.
Meanwhile, I see people, often older women, swimming in very cold seas in nothing but a swimsuit regularly. If they were swimming then it should be a prompt for a serious discussion about whether this sort of thing is a good idea.

I used to spend a week in Brighton once a year for work and stayed in a B&B.
The landlady was in a club that started their day with a (very) early morning swim.
She always extended an invite to join for a swim that for some reason we never took up.
It sounds like the sort of thing that could happen to early morning swimmers. Few wear wet suits, it’s normally just swimming cozies.

The tide would have been on the turn at the time they were reported in the water.
My wife cold water swims all year round, sometimes I join her and friends, we always watch the weather and tides etc, you get used to the cold only in swim cozies, me speedos, where we swim it is quite shallow at first and sandy, unfortunately 2 local chaps drowned at Budleigh on NYday the beach there is pebbles and goes deep quickly so difficult to exit if large waves.
