Two Young Kids Come To The Rescue, Save Boy Drowning In A Pool
August 10, 2023

When they saw something wrong, the two young men stepped up and helped to rescue a 7-year-old child from drowning in an apartment complex's pool.
Summer is filled with heat, humidity and plenty of outdoor fun. Those enjoyable outdoor outings often include water-based activities, especially in June, July and August. Whether it’s spending time at the lake, catching waves in the ocean or practicing cannonballs at the local pool, attendance in and around water increases.

But, as much fun as swimming and similar activities are, they also come with a fair amount of danger. Drowning is a real possibility even for the most experienced of swimmers. Thankfully, two young men helped to prevent one drowning death.
A video posted on YouTube shows a 7-year-old child, Griffin Emerson, swimming in an apartment complex’s pool. Griffin enjoys the pool's shallow end. But he slowly begins to drift toward the deeper part, struggling to keep his head above water.

All this takes place as no one else seems to notice. The video points out that Griffin’s frightening struggle against the water happened over the course of a full minute, eventually ending with the child sinking to the bottom of the pool.
However, one young man, Noah, did spot Griffin in the pool. He mentioned that he ordered Weston to jump in the pool and check on the 7-year-old.
The Rescued Child's Family Is Grateful for Those Two Boys Efforts
The video shows Weston, once he makes it to Griffin, grabs him and pulls him to the surface and then to the side of the pool. Griffin’s mother then began administering emergency life-saving procedures.
At some point during CPR, Griffin resumed breathing.
“I was scared I was going to drown,” Griffin said. “It felt a little weird. Spit out some water and that’s it.”
Griffin's grandfather is beyond grateful for Noah and Weston’s watchful eyes and heroic actions.
“Weston and Noah, you know, they hold a special place in my heart,” he said.
Ephesians 5:20 “Giving praise at all times for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father:”
