TWO children and a teenager have been rescued from a rip within minutes of each other at a busy Sunshine Coast beach.

Surf Life Saving Queensland reported two 10-year-old boys required assistance while swimming outside the flags about 10.45am at Alex Heads.

Three minutes later, a further report came through that a 14-year-old boy was rescued from the same spot.

A SLSQ spokesperson warned parents, "please supervise your children, lifesavers are not a baby sitting service”.

None of the boys required medical assistance.
