• Savennah Mendes-Rodrigues, 19, was studying for her dental school admissions test.
• A 2-year-old had fallen into a swimming pool in Abington, Massachusetts.
• She gave him chest compressions to the beat of ’70s disco hit, “Stayin’ Alive”.

A young girl rescued a toddler who was about to drown in a swimming pool in a Boston neighborhood on Monday.

Before taking action, Savennah Mendes-Rodrigues, 19, told Boston 25 News that she was studying for her dentistry school admissions test.

“And then out of nowhere we hear screaming and ‘oh call the ambulance, call the ambulance’ and then I come out to the kitchen and there’s a little kid on the floor,” she said.

The 2-year-old had fallen into the pool in Abington, Massachusetts, was dragged out by family, and was barely breathing when he was brought inside.

“I was really calm actually, I started chest compressions while everyone was panicking in the background,” Mendes-Rodrigues said.

The CPR-certified teen says she remembered her training to count compressions to the beat of the ’70s disco hit, “Stayin’ Alive.”

She told the media agency that she continued compressions on the toddler until emergency responders came, at which point the child was breathing again.

When firefighters got on the site, they took over treatment. According to a deputy fire chief, the toddler was brought to the hospital. According to WCVB-TV, he is expected to recover.

“When I was training for CPR everyone was like ‘I’m never going to use this, this is pointless,’ until you’re actually in the situation, and then it’s like woah, it looks like this is actually pretty useful,” she said.
