Text forquestions 35, 36, 37 and 38 Hero boy swims for fourhours to save his family (9th February 2026) A 13-year-old Australian boy has been hailed a hero after an epic swim that saved his family. The boy, Austin Appelbee, and his family were on a beach holiday in Western Australia. They were kayaking and paddleboarding in shallow water when strong winds pushed them farther offshore. They ended up over four kilometres away from land, and the daylight was fading. Austin decided to kayak to shore to get help. However, the waves had damaged his kayak, which had taken in water and flipped over. He said he then lost an oar and knew he was in trouble. He decided he had no alternative but to swim back to land. He swam through shark-frequented waters to raise the alarm. Austin made it to the beach and phoned for help. This sparked a huge rescue operation, which resulted in coastguards finding the teenager's mother and two younger sisters. The boy said: “I hit the bottom of the beach and I just collapsed, and then, after that, I had to sprint two kilometres to get to the phone.” Rescuers called his efforts “superhuman”. One rescuer said Austin's actions could not “be praised highly enough”. He added that the teenager's “determination and courage ultimately saved the lives of his mother and siblings”. Austin's mother Joanne, 47, told reporters: “The wind picked up. We lost oars, and we drifted out further. It was an absolute nightmare.” https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/teen-13-makes-harrowing-swim-through-shark-frequented-wa-waters-to-save-family-swept-out-tosea/YS5HBJ2Y2BFP3G44WGQ7Z67BPM/ https://www.nbcnews.com/world/australia/australia-perth-family-stranded-sea-teenager-swims-rcna257203 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly3ezj3rg3o In the text about Austin Appelbee's rescue, several verbs and adjectives are used to describe the gravity and the outcome of the situation.
