CAPE CORAL, Fla.– Police said a six-year-old almost drown at a birthday pool party on Southwest 4th Avenue on Sunday.
Police said the child jumped in the pool despite not knowing how to swim.
The adults went inside the home for a short time, according to police.
The children were unattended for about two minutes when the parents looked outside and noticed the child was underwater.
A nurse who happened to be there was able to pull the child from the pool and perform CPR until they regained consciousness.
“I’m glad she was there and was able to save the kid,” said Cape Coral resident Kathy Chasen. “Someone always has to be outside definitely by the pool, never ever leave them alone.”
The child was taken to the hospital where police said they became fully conscious and alert.
