New York firefighter Jessica Campeta was enjoying some time off with her boyfriend, Trooper Matt Colwell, and her two children.
When they heard the mother screaming for help, Campeta immediately jumped into the pool while her boyfriend watched her children.
"I immediately started compressions, mouth-to-mouth, just trying to clear her airway and getting her going," Campeta explained. "I was able to get some water out of her, clear her. She was starting to breathe I could hear her making noises."
