PORT DOVER - A 65-year-old man is safe, thanks to a 12-year-old and a nearby bystander.
According to the Norfolk OPP, he experienced a medical episode while swimming at Port Dover Beach on Saturday. A 12-year-old family member spotted him and pulled him back to shore and a bystander performed CPR to revive him.
Paramedics took him to the hospital, where no serious injuries were reported.
