PHOENIX (AZFamily) — A toddler is in critical condition after nearly drowning in a backyard pool in Goodyear Wednesday morning.
“Time is precious when we get there. We know that a child’s life is in the balance like that,” said Jay Arthur of the Drowning Prevention Coalition of Arizona. He is also a retired Phoenix firefighter with decades of experience responding to drowning calls. “What we see as first responders, we see the faces of our own children when we’re working on them.”
So far this year, there have been zero drowning deaths involving children in the Valley, according to Children’s Safety Zone. But Arthur said two kids who nearly drowned this year are severely impaired.
