Florida beachgoers grouped together to save a large family from drowning.

Roberta Ursrey and her family were at the Panama City Beach, Florida, when she noticed her sons were too far from the shore, according to the Panama City News Herald.

As Ursey and other relatives swam toward the sons, she became trapped in a rip current.

“I honestly thought I was going to lose my family that day,” Ursrey told the paper. “It was like, ‘Oh God, this is how I’m going.’”

The City News reported that nine people were trapped in 15 feet of water.
