Lifeguards Save Lives

On July 7th, 2022, a potentially tragic incident was prevented at Portpines Community thanks to the presence of a lifeguard on duty. While the exact details of the incident remain unclear, it's known that a young child was in distress in the pool and required immediate assistance.

The lifeguard on duty quickly noticed the child's distress and sprang into action. They immediately entered the pool and retrieved the child, who was unresponsive at the time. The lifeguard quickly assessed the situation and began performing CPR.

Thanks to the quick thinking and action of the lifeguard, the child regained consciousness and was rushed to the hospital for further treatment. The child is expected to make a full recovery, and the community is grateful to the lifeguard for their heroic efforts.

This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of having a lifeguard on duty at all times when a pool is in use. Without the lifeguard's vigilance and quick response, this incident could have ended in tragedy.
