Student had seizures while swimming!

Friday morning, a Warren Woods Tower High School freshman suffered a seizure while in swim class.

The female student was swimming when she experienced the seizure.

Warren Schools Superintendent Robert Livernois said, "She slipped underwater and was successfully pulled from the water and resuscitated by our trained staff."

The student was conscious when she was taken to the hospital.

Livernois said he is proud of the quick response of the teacher who followed the schools crisis protocol.

"These crisis plans are written and documented and kept in each teacher’s possession during the course of the school day. What it does is it helps provide some stability in difficult situations and this is a perfect example," he said.

It is unclear whether the student had seizures before Friday’s incident. The student was in stable condition at St. John Macomb Hospital and is expected to recover.
