A joyful frolic in the water quickly turned to terror for two young swimmers Tuesday, when they got into trouble in the shallow end of a pool at Hercules Aquatic Center in Zephyrhills. Rosie Daily, 7, had been teaching Katlyn Duty, 6, to swim. When things got out of control, the girls called out for help, and lifeguard Grace Sinclair was right there with a flotation device and an arm to cling to. The whole sequence took only about 20 seconds. The girls were fine.
