Kids Saved Dad from Drowning

Posted by Alex in Baby & Kids on July 30, 2007 at 10:03 am


Here are two young heroes: Nine-year-old Miya and six-year-old Tiffany Peyregne saved their dad from drowning while swimming in their backyard pool:

She and her sister, Tiffany, were swimming with their father, David Peyregne, at his home Monday afternoon when he began to complain that his legs were numb. Shortly afterward, Peyregne, 43, began to sink in the pool’s deep end.

Miya, 9, and Tiffany, 6, waited to see if he would resurface, but after 15 seconds passed and he still was underwater, the girls couldn’t wait any longer.

"As soon as I saw bubbles coming out of his mouth, I knew I had to go get him,” Miya said. "I grabbed a floatie and my goggles. I went down and got him.”
