Four ambulance crews responded to calls of the incident about 12.30pm on Wednesday, near Stuart Park and Puckeys Estate Reserve.
A NSW Ambulance spokesperson confirmed the children are both conscious, alert and breathing. They were taken to hospital for observation in a stable condition after they were treated at the scene.
According to witnesses at the scene, a local lifeguard was assisting the children.
Emergency service vehicles were seen leaving the area about 12.50pm.
It comes after more than a dozen rescues by surf lifesavers across Christmas Day and Boxing Day in Wollongong.
