Hours after learning the fate of her missing daughter, a heartbroken mom told The Post she cannot believe, “I’m not going to see my Chinnel anymore.”

A devastated Delrose McFarlane Bingham was referring to 21-year-old swimmer Chinnel Brown — who went missing in waters off the Rockaways Friday.

Authorities said the body of the Brownsville woman was found on the shore near Beach 136th Street and Rockaway Beach Boulevard at about 9:50 a.m.

“She was always so sweet. Always laughing. Always. Always always,” the grieving mother emphasized Saturday night from her Brooklyn home. “I’m not going to see my Chinnel anymore.”

The mom said she last saw her daughter on Thursday “because we were home that day together.”

The 21-year-old “started college, then stopped a bit” before becoming an assistant manager at an area Family Dollar store, the mom said.

The missing woman’s loved ones had held out hope before getting the grim news Saturday morning, a cousin said later in the day.

“We are trying to hang in,” cousin Stacy Ann Brown told The Post Saturday afternoon. “I was hoping they could find her alive. I don’t know … I guess it didn’t work,” she said sadly.

The cousin described the doomed swimmer as “kind person with a big smile at all times.”

Chinnel Brown was reported unaccounted for Friday, but another woman was saved, after police and firefighters responded to calls of missing swimmers off Beach 88th Street at around 7:15 p.m.

A surfer was credited with helping pull the survivor out of the water, police said.

First responders stopped searching for the missing swimmer around 9 p.m. Friday due to bad weather, police said. The search resumed Saturday morning.
