POIPU — Lifeguards revived a male swimmer Saturday afternoon after he was found unresponsive in waters off of Poipu Beach Park.
About 4:45 p.m. Saturday, lifeguards were notified of an unresponsive male near the west portion of Poipu Beach Park. With assistance from bystanders, lifeguards brought the man, age 70, to shore and immediately began administering CPR.
Shortly after, the man regained a pulse and the South-West Roving Patrol Unit, who had arrived on scene, moved him from the beach via backboard.
Lifeguards continued rescue breaths until the man was transferred to medics. He was transported to Wilcox Hospital for further treatment, where he remains in stable condition.
Hurray!! Another life saved. Let’s hear it for our lifegaurds. Just think what a disaster for the whole family of this man if they don’t spring into action and bring him back.
