This incident was just one of many happening along the lakefront that have emergency responders busy and asking everyone to respect the warning signs.
Witnesses say the woman went into the water, and the man went after her. But passersby thwarted the near-drowning incident.
Nathalie Pastor just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
Together with others nearby, she helped pull the couple to safety.
"I pulled out one arm, and the other girl pulled out the other arm, so that we both carried him out together, and we had somebody else carry out his torso," Pastor said.
Nathalie helped perform CPR on the woman, who initially was unresponsive.
"She was not responding at all, like, eyes shut, she was not breathing. So CPR was done, and then she finally took a breath, and we were like, 'OK, she's fine,'" Pastor said.
Video shows CFD wheeling the woman away. She was taken to Weiss Hospital in fair condition.
The man was checked out and released.
