A wife and her husband were engrossed in conversation. The wife was holding her child (maybe two years old?) by the hand. The child had toppled-over, face first, in about three inches of water. The fact that his mom was holding his hand actually prevented him from rolling over.

I snatch the kid, and the husband thinks I'm some sort of maniac/pederast/kidnapper. The lifeguard uniform was no help. True story.

I believe your story.
My husband was a lifeguard in the marines, yet we were recently at a pool where a friend’s child nearly drowned. God was looking out for the kid and he managed to say, “Dad” and the father pulled him out. Understand, four adults were sitting about two feet away but just like this article said, he didn’t scream or splash.

When the dad pulled him out, the kid’s throat was spasming and they ran him to the emergency room where the parents were told all that is in this article.

I was surprised that my husband thought the whole thing was an overreaction. He said the kid would have passed out and survived. Needless to say, I now don’t trust Dad to watch my own girls in a pool.
