All of a sudden, Rocco falls into the pool and immediately struggles.

But Albert is fast on his feet, taking off running and quickly diving over the fence into the pool.

He surfaces, moments later, with his son.

'The second you see it you get Superman strength and just have to go for it,' Passavanti explained to WPTV. 'It didn't even cross my mind to go around, it was point A to point B.'

While Albert joked on Facebook 'baby gates only work when you close them,' he still felt the need to advise other parents to be actively watching their children.

'Heads-up parenting, watch what's going on. Keep your eyes on your kids,' he added.
