A pair of paddleboarders got into difficulty in high winds off Seamill shore on Tuesday.
The HM Coastguard helicopter was hovering over Seamill Beach for the third time in recent weeks after reports of paddleboard users in difficulty.
The Sikorsky helicopter was spotted hovering above Seamill before leaving the area.
A coastguard spokesperson said: "HM Coastguard was alerted to a report of two paddleboarders in distress off the coast of West Kilbride at about 5.50pm on April 18.
"The coastguard helicopter from Prestwick and RNLI lifeboat from Troon were dispatched but later stood down as the pair managed to swim to shore near the golf course."
