I was at the gym one day taking my exercises and after I had a cup of hot soup next to the infant and mother bathing pool.
As I sipped the soup I watched the children and their mothers learning to swim. Then I noticed that a person was at the bottom, I looked again and she was still there.
I alerted the attendant, then watched as a life-saver dived into the pool and retrieved the drowning woman.
Another lady attendant gave mouth to mouth respiration then after a few minutes had to give up through exhaustion. Then we saw the lady take a breath.
She was breathing slowly and long.
The summoned ambulance came and when the crew administered oxygen the sick woman immediately revived and she was able to hold her baby in her arms.
She was then taken to hospital with her family.
A happy ending.
Chris.
