I was going to say that you should still have the kid checked due to “secondary drowning”, but apparently that’s largely a myth: https://www.redcross.org/take-a-class/resources/articles/dry-or-delayed-secondary-drowning According to the Red Cross, there’s no record of anyone nearly drowning, completely returning to normal, and then dying afterwards. If the person had shown symptoms like confusion or coughing, they’d be at risk for later dying despite rescue, but not if they completely and quickly recovered after the incident.
