"An ambulance crew took the man to The Royal Bournemouth Hospital as he had swallowed a lot of sea water and was extremely cold."
The man had stripped down to his underwear, but was swept out to sea by the very strong current at low tide.
Three RNLI crew members ran across Mudeford Quay to where the man had last been seen.
They maintained visual contact with him until other crew members managed to get him on board the Mudeford Servant lifeboat.
