Our hero, Catherine Jennison (photo by Bill Jennison)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A KSC senior’s quick thinking and heroic action saved a woman from drowning in Lake Winnipesaukee on July 17. Catherine Jennison of Belmont, N.H., a 21-year-old art major working as a lifeguard at Ellacoya State Park in Guilford, was off duty but still at the beach when a park visitor told her that she’d seen a woman go under the water but not come up.<\/p>\n

Catherine grabbed her rescue buoy and hit the water. Two other on-duty lifeguards soon joined her. The trio found a Barrington woman under water and were able to get her to the surface and to shore, where they got her breathing normally.<\/p>\n

The state parks system, the town of Gilford, and the Gilford Fire-Rescue Department presented the lifeguards with recognition awards.<\/p>\n

As Catherine told us, “I’m so thankful for all the training I have had. Lifeguarding year round has made me such a better lifeguard, and it keeps my skills honed. I’m glad that I have a job at the Keene State pool.” Looks like anyone swimming in the Spaulding pool is in good hands.<\/p>\n
