4 Lifeguards Honored for Saving Swimmer’s Life at Davenport North YMCA | KWQC
Four lifeguards were honored Tuesday for saving the life of a swimmer at the Davenport North YMCA in January 2022.
Craig Kinzer was taking a lifeguard certification course when he suffered sudden cardiac death and lost consciousness in the water. Then four lifeguards on duty pull him out of the pool and begin CPR, which they continue for about 30 minutes.
“I consider myself very lucky that I was at where I was at when it happened and for their quick actions of them because the medics said if it wasn’t for them doing what they did they would not have had a viable body to work with when they got here,” Kinzer said.
