Overview
- Keoki Silva says he lunged and grabbed his one-year-old daughter Aria by the ankle as she fell headfirst into the family pool, pulling her clear on May 17.
- The family reports Aria was uninjured, held her breath, did not swallow water, and quickly returned to playing after the shock of the cold.
- Silva published the rescue clip on Instagram and described the moment as 'pure instinct and adrenaline,' calling fathers' reflexes 'like that of a ninja.'
- He says he was actively supervising by watching his son on a camera while keeping Aria in his peripheral vision and stresses constant vigilance at pools.
- British outlets have circulated the video and Silva's account, with coverage focused on the rescue and his parenting views rather than any medical follow-up or official inquiry.
