This Summer

I've spent this summer working as lifeguard at the pool. Everyone thinks that the lifeguard only seats in the chair and spend the day there doing nothing, and when I started working last year I thought the same. But the lifeguard is there because one day something might happen and he is the only person who can solve the problem. This is what happened to me.

On August 21 this summer in the afternoon, when the pool began to fill, I was going to save some swimming material, a man called me. when I turned, I saw that there was a woman floating face down in water. I didn't think twice, and I threw to the water to remove her. She wasn't breathing and hadn't pulse. I ordered a man to call the ambulance while I started to do the heart massage. after 3 cycles of CPR she began to breathe again. I turn her and I wait for the ambulance doctor. I could act well at the moment, but at the end my body was all shaking like a flan. After a week I could realize what I had done, and that work as lifeguard is not easy.
