Alright, so I was, like, 5 or 6 at the time when this happened.
I was at a pool party that my mom took me to because I was too young to stay home by myself for a few hours and she wanted me to have fun.
My mom sat with her friends and chatted while me and the other kids played in the pool.
I was more extroverted back then but I still had a bit of trouble talking to people so I mostly just played by myself with one of the pool toys they had put for us.
So I'm just chilling in the pool probably sitting on the steps rolling a ball back and fourth because literally anything could entertain me back then.
And all of a sudden I hear a baby crying from behind me.
So I turn around and see that someone isn't paying attention to their toddler in the pool and the child is drowning and nobody is trying to help him.
So I, the brave kid i was, grabbed the closest pool noodle to me and tried to get the kid to grab on so I could pull them to safety.
But then I realize that wasn't working and the kid is too busy trying to stay afloat to realize the pool noodle a few inches away from him.
And then I just started booking it towards the kid, pushing everything and everything out of my way. Some other kid is in my way? Nope, outta the way buster I've got a life to save.
So I finally get to the kid and realize that my arms are the size of sticks and I would not be able to hold the kid up with them.
Thankfully, my mind runs wild in situations like these so in a matter of seconds I came up with a plan.
I put my goggles over my eyes, swam underneath the kid, and held him up with my shoulders.
Now the kid was safe but he was too heavy for my frail little body to be able to bench press so I could breathe.
But for some reason I wasn't thinking about the fact that I was loosing oxygen, I was just think about the fact that I just saved a toddler's life.
We had to be in that position for at least five seconds until my mom came over and picked up the kid, allowing me to grab onto the edge of the pool and breathe.
And when I was 10, my mom told me why that kid was drowning.
So apparently the mother of the child was so drunk that she left the pool area without getting her son out of the pool, leaving us kids and the other adults to watch him.
Well the other adults thought that the lady must have been sane enough to at least get her child out of the pool, so they just kept talking.
And then when I started helping the kid the adults just watched me for a few seconds, scared for my life.
Like guys, there are kids drowning in here and you're just going to watch-
Anyways, I suppose that ends this story.
