A California college student rescued three girls<\/a> who were in danger of drowning at a Seattle park after spotting them struggling in the water during a festival.<\/p>\n

The student, Lillie Vehling, is a Division I water polo player at the University of California, Davis, FOX 13 Seattle reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Vehling was in Seattle<\/a> for Seafair, the city’s annual summer festival, when she spotted three girls struggling in the waters of Lake Washington near Genesee Park on July 31.<\/p>\n

A California native, Vehling had gone to Genesee Park to watch the U.S. Navy Blue Angels flight demonstration squadron.<\/p>\n

The girls “did not look very good” in the water, Vehling said in an interview with FOX 13 Seattle.<\/p>\n

“They were already bobbing up and down, trying to get breaths, and one of the girls was actually drowning the others in order to breathe,” she said.<\/p>\n

“That’s when I knew I had to jump in.”<\/p>\n

Vehling said that she saved the girl who was drowning the others first “so that the others weren’t even in worse shape.”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digitial reached out to Vehling for more details.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I removed them one by one,” she told FOX 13. “The first girl \u2014 I, again, don’t really remember how I did it, but I got her back to the shallow water.”<\/p>\n

After rescuing the second swimmer, Vehling untangled the third girl from the buoy rope and brought her up to safety.<\/p>\n

“Unfortunately, by the time I had gotten to the third girl, it was just the top of her head that was there,” Vehling said.<\/p>\n

“I just saw her black hair in the water barely floating and when I got to her, she was unconscious. I lifted her head up out of the water and had my arm underneath her armpit holding her up,” she added.<\/p>\n

The girl coughed up water and regained consciousness, according to FOX 13.<\/p>\n

Seafair later honored Vehling for the rescue, inviting her to its gala \u2014 where she was knighted and named Seafair royalty.<\/p>\n

Similar rescues have made recent headlines across the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Earlier this summer, two Florida lifeguards were credited with saving a 5-year-old boy<\/a> who was pulled unconscious from the ocean at Silver Beach after his frantic family flagged them down for help.<\/p>\n

In LA County, lifeguards performed nearly 2,000 ocean rescues over a single weekend<\/a> amid extreme heat and dangerous surf conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
