Swallowed water
Swimmer rescued from drowning
Dramatic scenes unfolded on Tuesday afternoon at Lake Wolfgangsee: A vacationer swallowed water at the Strobl municipal office and struggled to breathe. Another visitor grabbed a SUP board and came to his aid.
The 77-year-old Pole suddenly started coughing violently in Lake Wolfgangsee. He had obviously swallowed water. There was no external cause. The man must have had health problems. The swimmer was also in danger of drowning. Several first aiders were immediately on hand to bring him safely ashore.
A 41-year-old man from Vöcklabruck (Upper Austria) immediately grabbed a SUP board and paddled out to the man. He lifted the unconscious man onto the board and placed him in the recovery position, where the Pole fortunately regained consciousness. The holidaymaker was flown to Salzburg University Hospital.
