My Guardian Angel Saved Me From Drowning


* Sent in by Rachel

When I was about 13 my family and some relatives visiting from Holland, travelled from Melbourne in Victoria to Hervey Bay in Queensland, on a two week road trip.

Somewhere halfway through New South Wales we’d stopped for a break and some lunch.  We’d pulled off the highway near an irrigation channel and a few of us decided to take a dip.  The fast-flowing current was pretty strong so the others quickly got out.  I was an over-confident swimmer and was sure I could easily swim against the current.

I ducked under the water and felt my body being swept quickly along with the current.  As I tried to surface I hit the top of my head against something hard and everything was dark above me.  I realized that I’d been swept under the concrete bridge that ran over the channel and there was no gap between the rushing water and the bottom of the bridge.

I bobbed back down and swam frantically against the current, trying to swim beyond the bridge.  I tried to surface again only to hit the top of my head on the bridge.  I was quickly running out of air and energy and I began to panic.  I kicked out frantically and in a last-ditch effort tried to swim free of the bridge again. 

Then I felt someone grab my hand firmly and focused my eyes on a figure in the water in front of me.  I was totally bewildering because I could clearly see the figure of a woman in a floating gown and she was lit up somehow, but she didn’t seem to actually be in the water ... she just seemed to be floating with the strong current not affecting her in anyway.  She just looked vibrant, calm and serene under the rushing water ... but I could feel myself starting to fade to darkness the longer I was stuck under the water.

I woke up on the bank of the channel downstream with no recollection of exactly how I got out from under the bridge and/or out of the water and up onto the bank.

Sitting up and looking upstream I could see my family frantically scrambling around the bridge and my mother being consoled by her sister, my aunt.  I yelled out and my Dad spun around then ran towards me.  I was still disoriented and couldn’t cohesively explain what had happened, but everyone agreed that I was safe, and that was the main thing. 

I still don’t know how I ended up on the bank some way downstream, but I do believe that what I saw under the water that day was my guardian angel and I can’t thank her enough for saving me from drowning that day.

  1. Thank you for sharing!!! I think I it was meant for me to read this particular story, because...
    somewhere in 2009 I had a dream (good thing I write my special dreams down)that I was standing near a lake and many beings like gold shining, illuminating were swimming under water. They could be seen everywhere, closer to the shore further etc. I was just standing and watching them. Then one glowing being swam to the shore where I was standing and just looked at me for along time. I think the being was kind of bold, with no hair, her look was strong but good, I felt like the being was studying me. The being was looking at me from under water in a horizontal, swimming position and I was standing on the shore looking down straight in her eyes. I did not know what were those beings, and why did I see them in my dream. Recently I started thinking more about it, asking at night who were you glowing beings...Also I started seeing numbers more...and now I read this story. And it just came over me, this is the answer. Now I know who they were, and I guess then it was the beginning of my spiritual development, although...I think it was planned long before I probably came to earth as a human being. Very neat. Thank you for posting. Peace, Halina Smolarczuk.

  6. Mad coz same happened to me when I was about 11 or 12,I nearly drown in a swimming pool and this woman was floating with bright silver hair,she was floating in the water like you described,she was so bright that my eyes hurt,what's mad is the pool was empty,nobodyvwas in the whole pool,not even a life guard,i was hit by a wave coz the machine was on a timer although nobody was in the pool the machine was still going on and off every few minutes,a wave hit me in the face and I'm a strong swimmer,it took me down to the bottom and i fought it until my energy left me,i laid on the bottom looking up,all of a sudden this happiness hit me and it got bright and my eyes hurt,this woman pulled me out,she was bright,she pulled me to the side and I said thank you but wjats strange is she got out and left and then there pool was empty again,it was odd because if she was getting into the pool and then saved me why did she leave? She would have only just been getting into the water because nobody was in the pool before hand,odd she just disappeared,its stuck in my skull since it happened,I'm 43 now
