A 12 year old boy named Austen MacMillan who is a resident of Wellington Florida credits viewing the Netflix television show "Stranger Things" for teaching him CPR that he used on his behavior therapist Jason Piquette who nearly drowned in a swimming pool.
Jason was inside the swimming pool when he swimming under the water when he did come up from the water to the surface which alerted Austen to take action by using CPR to revive Jason after Austen managed to get Jason to the surface where Austen was able to revive his instructor.
Jason is thankful that Austen was able to save his life from drowning in a swimming pool when Jason made an error of holding his breath under water longer than he was supposed to.

I am in agreement with you that CPR is needed in schools in our world today.

@Shavkat I hope so since when I went to school in the former Canal Zone in Panama there were no first aid courses for me to take.

That is true since most entertainment shows today do not appeal to me.

That is very true that Austen knew what to do when his instructor was in trouble.

Jason is very thankful for Austen saving his life. It is odd that kids today learn life saving lives based on fictional shows that I have heard of but never watched before.

I am sure that Austen will be given a life savers award from city officials in the near future.

For a behaviour therapist, that was really strange behaviour of his to try to hold his breath longer than he was capable of doing.
It was lucky that he had a level-headed lad there to revive him from his errant error of judgement.

@Deepizzaguy l guess many people like to test their own limits, though, like mountain climbers, for example.

@innertalks That is what I have noticed about some sports stars that are daredevils working in their profession like cliff divers.

That is what I was thinking why would Jason would tempt fate by staying underwater longer than usual.
