A young boy fell into the water at Hvalstad in Asker last week. He was rescued by eight-year-old Erik Aaby-Sættem, who recently completed a lifesaving course.
The younger boy was two or three years old, according to Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK).
“I heard the splash, and I rushed to him and held him until his mother came. She was quite far away,” Aaby-Sættem said.
The mother came running. After reaching the boy, she lifted him out of the water.
Aaby-Sættem knew what to do thanks to his previous training.
“I have been on many sea courses and have a boat myself. I have learned that if you see someone drowning, you should pull them up or hold them. You should also react quickly and call for help,” the young boy said.
