Blyth trio save baby girl in pushchair after she's blown into hotel pool in Turkey by the wind

Three young lifeguards saved a baby's life when she was blown into a swimming pool in her pushchair by a a sudden gust of wind.

Ellie Dickerson Weedy, 20, her boyfriend Jacob Screeton, 20, and her younger sister Issy Dickerson Weedy, 18, leaped into action while on a relaxing break in the Bodrum area of Turkey. They were sunbathing at the Paloma Family Hotel in Bitez when they heard a loud splash and saw a pushchair in the pool.

They quickly realised there was a baby girl strapped into the pushchair and all three of them dived into the pool to save her. Jacob got the pushchair out of the pool with the help of another person and Ellie and Issy made sure the toddler was breathing.
