In shocking CCTV footage, Griffin appears to be struggling to keep his head above water after removing his inflatable armbands.
People swimming around the young man did not notice and he spent a full minute underwater before being rescued.
Genesee County SheriffThe s office has now shared three tips for the general public.
They are as follows: know your surroundings, know CPR and teach your kids what to look for and how to swim.
Griffin was saved by two other children playing in the water after an adult swam past them.
Noah Roche, 12, and his brother Weston Woods, eight, watched Griffin struggle before springing into action.
Luckily, the boys jumped in the water, swam to Griffin and pulled him out of the pool.
The boy’s mother, Sylese Roche, said he wasn’t breathing and was turning blue.
In the video, he performs CPR on Griffin until he starts coughing up water.
Griffin was released within 36 hours of the initial incident and has made a full recovery.
Sheriff Christopher R. Swanson said in a Facebook Live video: “There were two heroes who saw this and unbeknownst to anyone, they jumped into the pool and picked up the 7-year-old boy. [and] dragged him to the side.
“Here’s the best part: the two lifeguards are 12 and eight.”
Tom Kinczkowski, Griffin’s grandfather, said, “Most heroes don’t wear capes and these are these guys.
“Without those guys, I wouldn’t be here right now.”
