Denver police honored five students who rescued and resuscitated a drowning swimmer at the Thomas Jefferson High School pool on April 14.

 "One brave student immediately began CPR, performing chest compressions until the student regained consciousness—before EMS even arrived," the police department said. They were honored with the Citizen’s Appreciation Award. "Their teamwork and courage in a critical moment made all the difference," the department said.
