First responders in an NYPD helicopter were called to rescue a distressed swimmer in Queens on Friday morning.

Video shows the woman being hoisted from the water off Far Rockaway near Beach 20th Street and Seagrit Boulevard just before 9 a.m.

A strong riptide swept the woman out too far from the shore.
