Decatur Alabama resident Christy Williams who is a math teacher at Eastwood Elementary School was in attendance with her daughter and several students of the same school this past weekend when a young child went into the deep end of the swimming pool.
The young person who is not a student of the school started to struggle to stay afloat when Christy jumped into the swimming pool and saved the child from drowning by getting the child from the swimming pool to the surface and into the edge of the swimming pool where other parents managed to give the injured student chest compressions before medical help arrived to take the young child via ambulance to a local hospital where the child is expected to make a full recovery.
Christy insists that she is not a heroine. She was just there to lend a hand on a child who hopefully learn not to go into the deep end of swimming pools without proper supervision.

Sure glad Christy was around at this time or things may not have turned out as well for the young person. Of course she is a heroine.

It was good that she was a maths teacher, so readily being able to solve that problem, which equates to being a good save.

Good save by a brave woman. I wonder how old the child was.

The age of the child and gender was not revealed but my guess is that the child was around elementary school age.
