| Event narrativeevent_narrative | On January 20th 2014 Guam Fire Department received a call around 11:48 am. Dwight Artero McKeever and his wife Sandra were about to walk on Ypao Beach in Tumon when they noticed a swimmer in distress. We paused for a minute to look, and we noticed a lady who was flailing her hands in panic said McKeever. Seeing a group of boys skimboarding nearby, McKeever began whistling loudly to get their attention|pointing to the woman behind them. She was about 30 to 40 feet from shore at the time. At the same time Ypao Beach lifeguards saw the woman go under the water and immediately responded. McKeever began running to the woman as the boys swam to her. Hoisting her head out of the water, McKeever began to swim the woman back to shore. the boys carried her legs. Once the woman was brought to shore McKeever, a former certified lifeguard, began to perform CPR on the lady. Lifeguard Robert Miranda says fellow lifeguards Joe Nauta and Stephan April continued to perform CPR and rescue breathing on the woman before she was revived about three minutes later. The woman was breathing on her own when paramedics arrived. Devan Mendiola was one of the young men who help rescue the woman. The woman was 36 years old and is from Korea. | Lifeguard Robert Miranda said ���I think she was swimming off the shore line but the water conditions with the swell coming in there's strong currents pulling people down to deeper waters,���.The lady was in stable condition in the Emergency Room at Guam Memorial hospital as of 5:20pm according to GMH Public Information Officer June Perez. |
