赞! 15岁少年勇救溺水男孩!
Last Thursday was 15-year-old Jack Viglianco’s first day on the job to save people in danger while swimming at the Charles Foster pool in Lakewood, Ohio.
“I heard like a ‘Help, ah’, kind of thing. And I looked over to the direction the sound came from and saw a boy who’s probably like 3 feet 6 inches, in the 4-foot water and gasping for air,” Viglianco said. The victim was a 4-year-old boy at the pool for a summer camp. Viglianco said the young boy was bobbing up and down, shouting for help. “Active drowners can still breathe, and they’re still above water, but they are still in the act of drowning,” said Viglianco.
Not only was it Jack’s first day on the job, but it was only 20 minutes after he started his job, when he had to put the lifesaving skills he had just learned to the test. “Jack started our emergency response plan,” Lakewood’s manager Matt Demaline said. “He got down off the chair and jumped in and helped the kid to safety. He had just finished a five-hour training the day before for all of our new and returning staff.” Jack said his first day on the job is the one he’ll never forget.
