CAMBRIA COUNTY, Pa. -- Taylor Toth of Richland Township is 7 years old. She was blissfully unaware as she played with her sidewalk chalk Tuesday night, that may have very well saved a child's life."She jumped in without her wing things on," said Toth.Toth was playing in her neighbor's pool as their two children were in the front yard. According to Toth's mother, Karin Hrivnak, the neighbor went inside for just a moment and that was all it took for her 3-year-old daughter to run around the side of the house, climb the pool ladder and jump in. When Toth saw the child splashing and trying to stay above water, she jumped into action."I just held on to her and got her out," said Toth.Toth's mother credits swimming lessons at the YMCA with helping her daughter react to a pool crisis. She also said her heart goes out the families who have lost a child to swimming pools this year."The pool is well supervised over there. It just happened so fast," said Hrivnak.Hrivnak said while the 3-year-old was shaken up, she is doing fine.
