\u00a0\u00a0 When Travorus Barnes, a sophomore at Hazelwood Central High School, took a lifeguard training class at HCHS, he never thought he would have to use the skills he learned to help save a life.\u00a0 While swimming with friends at a local swimming pool recently, Barnes pulled a man out of the water after he had been knocked unconscious attempting to dive into the pool.<\/p>\n

Barnes said he was swimming when someone alerted people at the pool that a person was at the bottom of the pool.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got out of the pool and went to the other side to see what was going on,\u201d said Barnes. \u201cI saw him at the bottom of the pool and instinct just kicked in. I jumped in to get him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barnes said the lifeguard training class taught him to stay calm and not to panic.<\/p>\n

\u201cI learned in class the most important thing is to stay calm. I also learned that when you are pulling a person out of water, you have to keep their head above the water. That\u2019s all I was thinking about. I just wanted to make sure I kept his head above the water,\u201d said Barnes.<\/p>\n

Barnes said after he pulled the man out of the pool, other people came to his aid and began to perform CPR until paramedics could arrive.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m happy he didn\u2019t die and I was in the right place at the right time,\u201d he said. \u201cGod was there. Everyone was pretty scared, but I knew what to do and I was able to do what I needed to do to be helpful. If something like that had happened to me, I would hope someone would do the same for me.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone there was telling me I did a good job. It made me feel like I was a hero. I was surprised that I wasn\u2019t scared while it was happening. But, I was nervous because I wasn\u2019t sure if he was playing around and would try to push me away when I got to him. My mom was very proud of me. She said she was thankful I had taken the class.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said when he was taking the class he knew he was learning important information, but never expected to have to use the skills he learned.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew I was learning important skills, but you always hope you don\u2019t have to use them. You don\u2019t think you actually will; that kind of stuff happens to other people. I was glad I was able to use what I learned and be successful,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
