This is what I heard on NPR this morning...
He went into the pool but didn't get wet. They had a large rubber "glove", for lack of a better word, into which he was placed. At the rear of this "glove" was a flotation device resembling a raft which supported almost all of his body.
At the front were humans, supporting his head and keeping him as calm as possible.
Many people were involved in this process, as many as a dozen at one time.
The doctor was in and out monitoring his progress the entire time.
The cost for such a procedure and recovery period can run into the "tens of thousands of dollars".
