Anita Alvarez American Swimmer Saved From Drowning By Her Coach
The coach of the US synchronised swimming team dove into the pool on Wednesday to save one of her swimmers, Anita Alvarez, who was sinking after fainting during the World Championships in Budapest.
Anita Alvarez was not breathing after her performance in the free solo synchronised swimming final and sank to the bottom of the pool. Andrea Fuentes jumped into the water to rescue her. "We were very scared, I had to jump in because the lifeguards weren't doing it," Fuentes told Spanish newspaper Marca.
The latter went down to the bottom of the pool and brought Alvarez to the surface before receiving help to carry the distressed swimmer to the edge of the pool. "I was scared because I could see she wasn't breathing, but now she's fine," Fuentes said.
Alvarez, 25, is competing in her third World Championships. She had already fainted several times during the Olympic qualifiers last year.
