One Texas mom made sure to teach her daughter how to swim at just two-and-a-half years old so she would be safe around water, but that decision might just be the reason the 35-year-old is still alive today.
Mom Tracy Anderwald was spending some quality time with her now 5-year-old daughter Allison on a mommy-daughter-day in her sister’s backyard pool when she suddenly had a seizure while swimming. Tracy passed out and sank 4 feet down underwater to the pool’s floor, and would have died if not for Allison.
After over five minutes passed without her mom coming up for air, Allison knew something was wrong. The 5-year-old quickly ran into the water, dragged her mother to the shallow edge of the pool, flipped her over, and then ran to tell her Aunt Tedra so they could call 911.
“The doctors explained to us that had Tracy been underwater any longer, she probably wouldn’t be with us right now,” Tedra Hunt said. “It is truly amazing that this little girl, who’s actually also pretty small for her age, was able to save my sister.”
“Allison’s been swimming since she was two-and-a-half,” Tracy said. “She’s our little mermaid and my little hero.”
