Heroic police officers saved an unresponsive toddler who had gone blue and was floating face down in her grandparents' swimming pool.
Robert Lindblom and Kyle Skipper, of Pensacola Police in Florida, found the unnamed three-year-old and their desperate battle to save her life was all captured in body-camera footage.
Having received the call while dealing with another incident nearby, the two officers were able to get to the scene quickly and begin CPR.
Officer Skipper told WBTV, on arrival the patient wasn't breathing, didn't have a pulse and her skin had gone blue.
"Flipped her over my arm and just gave her several firm slaps on the back to try to expel anything that was in her lungs and her throat to maybe get a clearer airway," he explained.
While Officer Lindblom admitted he feared the child couldn't be saved at first.
"To be honest, my first thought was there was no way we were gonna bring her back because as purple and blue as her skin was, I thought for sure she was gone," he said.
"When I saw her take a breath, I really just thought it was a miracle," he added.
The girl was then rushed to hospital where doctors said she would have died if her rescuers had got there any later.
The footage was shared on Facebook by the police department following the incident on June 13.
Officer Lindlom added: "Whether it was fate, divine intervention or just luck, I'm glad we were there."
Both officers are fathers of young children themselves and said they were thinking about them during their heroics.
It's not clear how the child - who has made a full recovery - came to be in the pool or whether charges will be filed.
