High School Swimmer Saves Teammate’s Life During Practice
Read wkbw.com. The way I see it, they shouldn’t have been doing those dangerous drills, especially since only one had received life saving training. But happy story nevertheless.
Charlie Cain, 17, never thought he would need the life saving training he received from the American Red Cross. He took the lifeguarding class in preparation for his pre-med dreams.
However, Thursday afternoon at his swim practice, Cain’s skills were put to the test.
The Peoria Notre Dame Varsity swim team had been working on how long they could hold their breath and how many yards they could swim while doing it.
Alex Bousky, 16, was working to break some records when he pushed himself a little too far. Bousky passed out after his 75th yard and suffered a seizure in the bottom of the pool.
When swimmer Grant Streid noticed Bousky was nowhere to be seen, Cain sprang into action jumping in the water and carrying his teammate to safety.

In Denmark it is okay that child molesting coach stays as chairman of the club (!)
This is so weird, according to Danish tabloid media Ekstrabladet, the Sports Confederation of Denmark will not deny a Karate coach convicted of sex with a minor the right to be chairman of the same club, despite of having banned him from coaching children and adolescents under 18 the next 10 years, as they believe that there is no real risk of a chairman having close relations with kids and youths. According to the article, most clubs get rid of sex offending coaches, while others still chose to give them a second chance as coaches of adults or member of the board.
– ‘But I agree with you, that being chairman is a signal externally. But that we will leave to local people to decide, whether they still will associate with him’, says Jan Darfeldt, member of the Sports Confederation of Denmark’s pedophilia committee.
