RedactedNarrative: On 07/14/17 at 1637 hours, Deputies were both dispatched to a Near Drowning incident that occurred on Lake Peasant, east of Jet Ski Point. The complainant, who identified herself to MCSO dispatch, was advising that two subjects had fallen off their Kayaks and one was having difficulty staying above the water. Subject also advised that the one that was having difficulty, was not wearing a personal floatation device (PFD). Lake Pleasant had just got hit with a storm which consisted of extreme heavy winds with large choppy water. 
  
      After searching the main bay area of the lake, on board Maricopa County Sheriff''s Office watercraft LP-78, Deputies located the two subjects, who verbally identified themselves in the water east of Jet Ski Pont. Both Deputies were able to get both subjects on board their patrol watercraft and transport them to 10 Lane Boat Ramp where they were evaluated by Peoria Fire Department Engine 195 and 199. 
  
      After Peoria Fire Department completed their evaluations on both. They made the determination to transport Subject2 to Honor Health / Deer Valley Hospital for life threatening injuries. Subject1 refused any further medical treatment but accompanied Subject2 to the hospital. 
  
      At 1744 hours, I made my way to Honor Health / Deer Valley Hospital and upon my arrival, which was 1826 hours, I made contact with both Subject2 and Subject1. Subject2 was alert and conscious and Subject1 was sitting with her in room 27 of the Emergency Unit. I asked Subject2 and Subject1 what happened. They told me the following:
  
  Subject2 said that she and Subject1 were paddle boarding in the lake when they noticed a storm coming in. Subject2 said she advised Subject1 to start making her way to the shoreline and before they knew it, heavy winds blew them both off their paddle boards into the water. Subject1 said that she was sitting on the paddle board at the time on top of a tube. Subject1 said that the paddle board blew over on top of her along with the tube and she started to struggle to stay above water. Subject2 said that she observed Subject1 struggling and swam over to help her. Subject2 said that while she was attempting to help Subject1 and while she was trying to get to the tube, she too started to struggle staying up above the water. Subject2 then advised Subject1 to try and make it to the shoreline, but both of them were not able to due to the heavy winds from the storm. Subject1 said that they were then picked up by the Deputies. Subject2 was not wearing a personal flotation device when the incident occurred. 
  
      After speaking with both Subject2 and Subject1, I made contact with one of the nurses in the emergency unit and asked her if Subject2''s condition was life threatening. The nurse advised me that at first, when Subject2 arrived at the hospital they believed it was, but her condition improved and it was not life threatening at the time. I asked the nurse what she was treated for.  The nurse said that they were doing some blood tests and she was being treated for over exertion. I ended my contact with the nurse at that time. 
  
      Due to the fact that I was inside the emergency unit of the hospital, my MCSO issue body worn camera was not activated.
  
      There is nothing further at this time.
