A 10-year-old boy swept out by strong currents in Santa Cruz, California, survived after a 16-year-old lifeguard rescued him, and spoke publicly for the first time. Ten-year-old Nathaniel Rai said he cried for help, saw lifeguard Ryder Williams, then fainted. Williams reached the unconscious boy in rough water. Father Sumit Rai said two more seconds would have swept him irretrievably out to sea. The Dallas family was on vacation; the rescue was captured on video that went viral. Rai now considers Williams and his family part of his extended family, with both families in daily contact.
