Sixteen-year-old Amy Rose Chivers didn’t stop to think when 4-year-old Kalea Schrader fell into a pool Sunday, May 30, at a house party — she just reacted.
“She just jumped in and got the little girl,” said Amy’s mother, Jenny Chivers. “She’s a really good kid.”
Amy, who lives in Tracy with her mother and father, Mike Chivers, has experience with children, Jenny explained, but not in a pool situation. But when Kalea, who doesn’t know how to swim, slipped into the backyard pool, Amy jumped right in after.
“It all happened really, really fast, and it could’ve been a really bad situation,” said Sandy Schrader, the 4-year-old’s mother. “In my eyes, Amy will always be Kalea’s hero.” Teen earns Eagle ranking
