7-year-old swims for an hour to get help for dad and sister stranded in river
A seven-year-old boy, Chase Poust, has been hailed as a hero for his incredible act of bravery. While spending Memorial Day weekend with his family in Jacksonville, Florida, he, his father Steven, and four-year-old sister Abigail encountered a perilous situation on the St. Johns River near Mandarin Point.
Their boat was anchored, and the plan was for Steven to fish while the children swam nearby. However, a strong current unexpectedly separated Abigail from the boat. Chase, though not wearing a life jacket, let go of the boat to rescue his sister. Despite his fear, he swam against the current for an hour until he reached dry land.
