I wonder how the heck the fawn wound up under the pool cover. I'm sure the mother of the fawn was happy to be reunited with her offspring.
Kudos to that woman animal control employee.

The women did well, swimming under the pool cover, which is a scary thing to do too.
Perhaps it was hard to roll it back first, or she thought there was not enough time to do so.
She took a risk, as she could have gotten trapped under there herself too, as the cover usually touches the water surface too, making it hard to swim, and to breathe under.
