Teenager Jumps Into Action After Seeing Child Fall Through Ice in Queens | ABC7NY
A FDNY firefighter made a daring ice rescue in Queens – just hours after he trained for the exact thing.
The frozen pond at Springfield Park is picturesque on a sunny, winter day, but danger was lurking on Friday afternoon when the ice broke, and a child fell in – right before Alex Smith’s eyes.
“I was like ‘oh my God, oh my God, I need to go help him,’ right? The first thing I jumped to was help him – I didn’t even call the police or nothing, I just instantly ran to help him,” Smith said.
The 14-year-old thought on his feet before any of the first responders arrived. He said he quickly spotted a nearby safety ladder and slid it out to the boy whose head was barely above the icy water.

Give Me 10 Min, and I’ll Change How You Breathe in Freestyle Forever | Eetu Karvonen
If you’ve been struggling with freestyle breathing, I’m going to break down exactly how to breathe in freestyle using proven swimming breathing technique principles that instantly improve control, rhythm, and efficiency.
I cover simple but powerful freestyle swimming tips to help you master breathing while swimming without lifting your head, losing balance, or gasping for air. These are the same swim breathing drills I use in swim coaching to fix common swimming breathing problems fast.
You’ll learn how to use the alligator breathing drill to build comfort and control, how bow wave swimming creates a natural pocket of air, and why proper freestyle body rotation makes breathing effortless. I also explain the ideal freestyle head position so you can stop over-rotating and start swimming smoothly.
If you deal with swimming panic or want to know how to stop gasping swimming, I break down the importance of exhale underwater swimming and proper swimming breathing timing so your breath matches your stroke. This is especially important for swimming for beginners, but even masters swimming athletes and triathlon swimming competitors can benefit from refining their bilateral breathing and overall freestyle tips.
By the end, you’ll understand how to connect freestyle breathing, timing, rotation, and relaxation into one smooth system that makes every stroke more efficient.
