The 14-year-old who saved two men from drowning

Gordon Arnette's inner alarm went off when he heard Jimmy Dowd and Thomas McGarry loudly announce one June day in 1989 that they were going for a swim in the Norwalk River. The Connecticut teen said it was clear the two men, who he had chatted with at a neighborhood pharmacy, had been drinking, so he followed them down to the banks of the river and even asked them not to go in. But they refused and jumped into the swirling river, where they were quickly swept away by the heavy current, their heads bobbing in and out of the water. Arnette sprang into action, jumping into a nearby inflatable raft and paddling some 130 feet with his hands to reach the drowning men. Arnette grabbed Dowd with one hand and then paddled another 30 feet to McGarry who had begun to have a seizure. The teen left Dowd hanging on the raft and dove into the water to retrieve McGarry. "It was hard, but I grabbed him by his chin like they taught me in school, and I got his arm and put it over the other side of the raft," he said. By the time police arrived, Arnette had already safely paddled the two men to shore, where they had collapsed, semi-conscious. "If [Arnette] had not take action, McGarry would have perished," the official police report said. Ironically, the high school sophomore, who dreamed of becoming a lifeguard, had been told by his P.E. teacher just a few weeks prior that he wasn't a strong enough swimmer for the job.
