The heroic rescue was captured on the deputies' body-worn cameras.
According to the sheriff's office, it happened Tuesday morning at a small pond along Thonotosassa Road about a mile east of Lake Thonotosassa.
"The call came in at 10:25 a.m. and our team was there by 10:35 - able to assess the situation," said Assistant Chief Communications Officer Phil Martello. Just minutes later, he was safe, uninjured, and reunited with his family thanks to the efforts of the deputy duo, thanks to the person who called 911, and thanks to the reeds that held the child above water.
