On July 18, 2024, there was an unfortunate incident at the Waverly Aquatic Center which required our staff to perform CPR on a young swimmer until emergency responders and staff arrived. Thanks to their quick action, they undoubtedly saved that young boy's life. There are not enough words to express how incredibly proud and thankful we are for them and their efforts. The boy eventually made a full recovery and even visited the Aquatic Center a couple of times after the incident with his friends and family.
At the October 22, 2024 Waverly City Council meeting, those five lifeguards were recognized for their actions on July 18, 2024. Those individuals who were recognized were Hudson Good, Samantha Hagaman, Maddox Hasenkamp, Anna Mollo, and Camille Waldo. We always hope our lifeguards would never need to use their emergency training, but we are extremely grateful and proud of these young men and women for jumping into instinctive action that day.
We want to thank everyone who had a part in saving that young boy's life that day including Aquatic Center staff, Lincoln Fire & Rescue, Lancaster County Sheriff, Waverly Fire/Rescue, and anyone else that contributed.
