A body recovered in Jacob Riis Park was identified Thursday as the swimmer who went missing in the waters off the Rockaways in Queens earlier this week.

Anthony Bolden, 21, seen above, jumped into the water Monday to help a friend who was struggling in the surf.

His friend made it back to shore, but Bolden never resurfaced.

His body was recovered early Wednesday morning.
