This is the horrifying moment a Stanford University swimmer struggles during a race before collapsing when she exited the pool.
Sophomore Addison Sauickie had been competing in the 2026 ACC Swimming and Diving Championships in Atlanta on Wednesday.
The 20-year-old was in the middle of a lap during the 500-yard freestyle when she suddenly began floating face down for a few seconds. She then recovered and managed to make it to the finish line.

A second video, taken by SwimSwamTV, showed her later remaining in her lane in the pool after all the other competitors had left the water.
Addison, a four-time World Junior Championship medalist, stayed there so long other competitors started lining up to take their spot for the next race.
Eventually a marshal came to her aid.
But once her feet hit the ground, she collapsed to the floor, before she was helped up by several bystanders on to a chair.
Addison was then able to leave the pool with a coach after “around five minutes.”
