Boy, 3, nearly drowns in Phoenix pool

A 3-year-old boy nearly drowned Saturday night in Phoenix after being in a pool for one to two minutes, the Phoenix Fire Department reported.

When he was pulled out of the water in the 3700 block of Irwin Avenue, he was described as looking “lethargic” and chest compressions were immediately started, according to the Phoenix Fire Department. The boy began breathing normally a short time later.

He was later taken to a local hospital as a precaution.
