Went to visit my ladys daughter, boyfriend and unborn kid (8 week preg) at new apartment on saturday.
We had my ladys 3 kids in tow, 11 y/o male and 10 y/o female, 13 y/o female.
The kids only came for the pool and food really. (4ft to 12ft small pool)
Fast fwd past the mundane to the pool. Earlier that day I decided to be lazy and put my bdu's and boots from the previous day at work, that way I didnt have to move my wallet from one pair of pants to the next (give me a break, it was my day off).
Back to the pool, The preg daughter and Boyfriend are in the deep water with the 11 & 13 y/o females close behind. The two young girls are in, one in the deep one in the shallow all good swimmers. I'm sitting at a table playing tetris on my cell.
The crying and splashing starts here the (non-swimming) mother standing by the pool watching more closely than normal. She turns to me and Says "Theyre serious, come help". I stand at poolside do a quick survey, 6 ft boyfriend is keeping preg daughter above water but may go under himself. 10 y/o female gets dragged under by panicking preg daughter while screaming with her mouth open.
i jump in with glasses and all, boots too. trying to get past preg daughter to submerged 11 y/o . i start to come up under the 11 y/o, this is where i realized my mistake, I started to sink like a brick. My boots began to fill with water and drag me to the bottom.
I found myself at the bottom holding my breath trying to figure out why I cant swim anymore.
I kick to the surface look for the kid go back to the bottom then...
kick to the surface one more time and the kid is at the edge safe.
Back to the bottom....
And kick to the surface , preg daughter is still panicking but 6ft boyfriend is much calmer and managing. Back to the bottom and.....
Kick, I get my hands on the preg daughters rear flanks to assist 6ft boyfriend. then back to the bottom.....
kick, and for some reason head to the FAR side of the pool! Grab the edge and its over
Mom is angry, kids are crying (Good airway) and preg daughter is at the edge holding on. I'm to tired to climb out so i walk to the sallow and get out.
I send the kids in to dry and raise core temps, pool was freezing.
Question #1 Who would you pick to go after?
Question #2 Except for the boots, What would you change.
Question #3 Is my litman ruined now that its been in the pool?
