The man who had drowned in a pool yesterday evening, has been taken off a Respirator, an Official tells TLS. The man, approximately 35 years old, was unconscious when he was transported to Jersey Shore Medical Center, after being pulled from the pool by a young Lifeguard. The Official tells TLS that the man is awake, coherent and talking. He is expected to be released from the Hospital within the next few days.
“There’s no question Haztolah saved his life”, he said.
The cause for the drowning is unknown at this time.
That is great news!!
Just a few water safety tips t keep you and your family safe this summer;
-Always allow 30 minutes after eating to let your meal properly digest and avoid the risk of developing a cramp.
-Keep a life preserver or throw rope near the pool. A struggling swimmer can also put a rescuer in danger. The throw rope/ life preserver can provide the swimmer with a flotation device, while pulling the swimmer to safety.
-For in-ground pools with deep ends, alway have a safety rope dividing the deep end from the shallow end.
– As another commenter above stated, learn CPR.

Your headline is frighteningly inaccurate. He did not drown. drowning implies death. This is called a near-drowning. My heart almost dropped when I read the headline.
Again the name is Yechiel Mechel Ben Ester Fraidel
R’ Yechiel, be strong! We know you can pull through this! BS”D
get your story straight–headlines are making a mountain out of a mole hill
B”h this is miraculous!! May we only continue to hear good news and wishing him a complete recovery.
The Young Lifeguard saved his life by pulling him out, its possible Hatzalah assisted afterwards but give credit to the Lifeguard!
NO, the young lifeguard saved his life by pulling him from the pool. KUDOS to the guard—-you are a true HERO!!

=============================================
your description of your heart almost dropping implies that it does happen when one get scared. please change it to be a little more realistic as my liver nearly popped out when i read your comment
The young lifeguard saved a man’s life!!
We NEED to make sure that there is ALWAYS a lifeguard by a pool no matter who is in there.
Sometimes adults get together and go swimming without a lifegaurd.
We MUST take a lesson from this!!
Thank hashem
THE LIFE GUARD IS A HERO, HOWEVER , LIFEGUARDS ARE THERE TO PREVENT THIS TYPE OF THING. MAKE SURE YOUR LIFEGUARDS ARE QUALIFIED AND MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE POOL SETTING. THEN ALL THIS CAN BE AVOIDED. AND TO YOU PEOPLE WHO DO NOT CONFORM TO THE RULE OF THE POOL. SHAME ON YOU
I know the lifeguard personall. He is a caring and talented lifeguard. He is the TRUE HERO of this story. Every pool should have a devoted lifeguard like him! May Hashem repay him with every blessing!
