Quick-thinking student saves child from drowning
A day by the pool could have ended in tragedy, but the quick thinking of Randy Brown saved the day and saved a life. Brown, a 7th grade student at Flat Rock Middle, put his swim training to use to rescue a drowning toddler who had fallen into the deep end of a pool.
Randy has been taking swimming lessons, and he has even done some lifeguard training, at The Swim Center in Stockbridge, and all of his preparation paid off in a priceless way.
On Mother’s Day, his 2-year-old cousin fell into the deep end of the pool and no one noticed initially. The child’s mother saw him on the bottom of the pool and screamed. Randy leapt into action and dove in to get him.
