Two young teenage girls — including one with dreams of swimming in the Olympics — dove into a dangerous riptide to rescue a British couple from drowning off a Barbados beach earlier this month.

Emma Bassermann, 14, and Zoe Ireland-Meklensek, 13, have been credited for saving the lives of Belinda and Robert Stone — the latter of whom is about twice their size — by bringing them to shore on Jan. 3.
