Police were called to the pool last Thursday. They say a parent and child were swimming together when they came across an unresponsive child. A lifeguard immediately pulled the boy from the water and began doing CPR until an ambulance arrived and EMS attendants took over.

They say the quick actions of all involved helped save the boy's life.
