Youth Hero | American Red Cross Southern California Region
On November 14, 2019, Gavin Pike, a fifteen-year-old Laguna Beach High School student and member of the surf team, was laying on the sand at Thalia Street Beach when he noticed two swimmers in trouble. A mother and a son were struggling to keep their heads above water as a rip current rapidly took them out to sea.
Seeing that they were in danger, Gavin made his way out to them through the treacherous surf. Once he made contact, Gavin helped pull the mother and son out of the rip current, with no floatation device, and onto the shoreline. Another bystander had called 911 and Lifeguards and paramedics arrived shortly to evaluate the mother and son. They were released from the hospital later that day.
The American Red Cross is proud to honor Gavin for his courageous and lifesaving actions.

Artistic swimmers speak out about abuse at training centre
Four members of Canada’s artistic swimming team, training in Montreal, are speaking out about what they call a toxic environment.
Last month, allegations of abuse and harassment from swimmers and people outside the program led to the shutdown of the senior national artistic swimming team’s training centre, pending a review by an external firm.
Due to their fear of reprisals, Radio-Canada has agreed to protect the swimmers’ identities and to refer to them as Caroline, Sarah, Patricia and Rose.
“It’s been going on for too long within that organization,” said Caroline. “There is a toxic environment in artistic swimming.”
