Toddler Resuscitated After Going Under In Carowinds Pool

POSTED: 11:27 pm EDT July 31, 2006

York Co., SC -- Officials at Carowinds tell Eyewitness News the boy went under water in the Kookaburra Bay, a shallow pool for small children in Carowinds' new Boomerang Bay Water Park. Three lifeguards responded to help the boy. One administered mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. The boy was breathing by the time an on-site first-aid team arrived.

A Carowinds spokesman said the boy was with his mother when the incident happened just before 5:00pm. Carowinds leaders closed down the water park briefly after the incident. Officials tell us they are pleased with the way their staff responded.

That is a heroic story. Nice job by the lifeguards. I hate to say it, but his mother didn't notice that he was drowning? How shallow are we talking? A few feet? She could have pulled him out for that matter.

Glad to hear that the Boy is okay.

It is only three feet.

^So, she just watched him drown and waited for the lifeguards? Where has common sense gone?
