When a young girl struggled to stay afloat in the pool during a birthday party at a community center, Amber Gipson's lifeguard training kicked in. Without a second thought, she jumped into the water fully clothed and pulled the child to safety. Not only did Amber save the little girl's life, she also helped her overcome her fear of going back in the water. To recognize Amber's quick actions and compassion, the American Red Cross of North Florida recognized her with a Certificate of Merit. You can be prepared for emergencies this Water Safety Month and all summer long by: - Signing up for a swim class. - Learning CPR and first aid. - Always swimming with a lifeguard and/or water watcher present. #WaterSafetyMonth #WaterSafety #SwimmingSafety
