Device saves drowning man at YMCA pool
A man who went into cardiac arrest while swimming at a YMCA pool in Cobb County is crediting a device with saving him from drowning as a result.
COBB COUNTY, Ga - Gary Phillips was swimming laps at the Northwest Cobb YMCA. I think I was on lap eight. I felt a twinge in my heart and thought this is a heck of a place to have a heart attack, said Phillips.
He blacked out and sunk to the bottom of the pool. Alarms started going off.
