A 7-year-old boy jumped into the pool and saved his son from drowning

The 7-year-old is called a “hero” after jumping into the pool to save his little one.

Macia Brown, Sacramento, California, was swimming in her apartment pool when she saw a three-year-old boy (an unidentified boy) lying down.

Macia jumped into 6 feet of water to save her baby.

“I was playing in the pool and there was a kid at the bottom of the pool,” the second grader told Good Morning America. “And I took it.”

Macia was in the pool with her 9-year-old cousin Savannah. Savannah took the boy to a barren land and warned nearby adults.

“Savannah took him to his mother, then they did CPR on the boy and then they called the doctor,” Macia said.

Macia’s father, Marcus Browne, said his son would swim “like a fish” but was still surprised to find his hero.

“He’s a good boy,” he told GMA.

Firefighters later confirmed that rescuers had performed CPR and arrived to take the boy to the hospital, ABC News reported.

Macia’s mother, Tiara Delvale, said she was in contact with her son’s family and that the boy had survived the tests. Delvale called it a “miracle”.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), drowning is the leading cause of death for children in the United States.

More children ages 1 to 4 die from drowning than from any other cause, except birth defects. Most of these drownings occur in the pool.

It is also the second most common cause in children ages 1 to 14. Many children are injured each year in traffic accidents alone.

The CDC recommends that children take swimming lessons to reduce the risk of drowning.

It is also advisable to completely fence the pool to prevent children from swimming unattended. Four insulating fences around the pool reduce the risk of child drowning by 83%.
