Results: HERO 7-YEAR-OLD SWAM FOR AN HOUR TO SAVE HIS SISTER AND FATHER

According to a Monday CNN report, 7-year-old Chase and his father and sister were on the family's boat on the St. John's River in Jacksonville when the incident happened. The father, Steven Poust, told WKXT-TV that the children were swimming when 4-year-old Abigail, who was wearing a life jacket, was swept away by a strong current. Chase, Steven said, immediately let go of the boat and tried to swim after his sister to keep her from drifting further down the river. Have you ever experienced a dangerous situation while you were swimming?

Chase, too, became stuck, and Steven was forced to jump in to help them both. As Steven swam toward his 4-year-old daughter, he directed Chase — who was not wearing a life jacket — to swim to shore for help. Have you ever needed help from someone while swimming?

It took the boy an entire hour to fight to shore, authorities said. He told WKXT that he alternated floating on his back and doggie-paddling in order to preserve his strength, and when he finally reached land, he ran to a nearby home for help. Have you ever had to swim an incredible distance - whether to save someone or not?

Chase had to fight the current and swim against it the entire way. By that time, the current reportedly had dragged Steven and 4-year-old Abigail about a mile and a half to two miles away from the family's boat. Have you ever experienced a strong current that pulled you a long way from where you started?

Eric Prosswimmer, a spokesperson for the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department, said during a news conference on the dramatic rescue that the department used "every resource" to assist in the rescue. "We had every resource we could have possibly had coming quickly and we're happy to say all three have been recovered, and all three are doing well," he explained. "We couldn't ask for a better outcome." Do you agree that Chase is a hero because he overcame great difficulty to save his 4-year-old sister and his father?
