Her dad pulled her out, and she was fine, but it was especially traumatic for everyone there. It was a group of Coast Guard rescue swimmers with their families.
Ouch! This brings a painful memory. We were swimming in a motel pool when one of our sons started to sink. Right at the edge was a couple in their 70s, and they were right there. They could have very easily pulled him out, but I ran around and did the pulling. Then I asked this couple why they did not pull him out. They said, "He is not our child."
