The boys, all 17, went for a swim but the river current suddenly became strong, causing the two to be swept away and leaving the four others trapped.
The other four boys managed to climb to higher ground but could not cross the river to get home due to the higher water level.
They were rescued on the same day by the Fire and Rescue team using life jackets and ropes.
