Multiple helicopters have been deployed after a number of swimmers came into distress off the Mornington Peninsula on Wednesday afternoon.
Life Saving Victoria's State Agency Commander Simon White said two lifesaving helicopters and lifesavers were responding to "reports of a number of swimmers in distress at Bushrangers Bay" near Cape Schanck.
Paramedics, including an air ambulance, were also called to the incident at Flinders just before 3.30pm on Wednesday.

Bushrangers Bay is not patrolled by Life Saving Victoria, according to beachsafe.org.au.
The service describes the 300m beach as "moderately safe" for swimming when waves are low.
"However stay on the bar and clear of the rocks, and rips against the rocks," the advice reads.
