According to U.S. media such as ABC 7 and the New York Post, a 4-year-old girl playing in an apartment swimming pool outside Detroit, Michigan, was on the verge of drowning in late June. At the time, twin sisters Ava and Addison, 9, who were in the pool visiting their grandmother's house, found a 4-year-old child in the water who was not moving.
Ava recalled "The child didn't move at all."
The sisters immediately came to the rescue. One brought goggles to see underwater, while the other jumped directly into the water and pulled the child up.
After lifting the child to the surface, the sisters alerted the adults nearby.
After that, a swimming pool employee rushed to perform CPR, and the grandmother of the twin sisters reported it to the emergency services.
The child, who was rushed to the hospital, was able to save his life thanks to the swift response of the twin sisters.
Recently, the Wick Island Police Department awarded the Ava, Addison sisters and pool staff the 'Citizen Achievement Award'.
The police chief said at the ceremony that `there is no doubt that these three saved young lives.'
The sisters' father expressed pride, saying, `I have always looked around and taught children how to help those in need.'
Ava and Addison "I'm so glad the child is alive now. I hope you stay healthy."
