ST. GEORGE — A six-year-old girl had a close call with drowning Tuesday while swimming at a pool at an apartment complex in St. George.
The girl was submerged for an extended period of time before other young children pulled her out and an adult performed “lifesaving measures” on her at about 5 p.m., St. George Police Sgt. Wade Johnson said. She was swimming in a pool at a clubhouse at Oasis Palms Luxury Apartment Community, located at 260 N. Dixie Drive.
A Gold Cross ambulance transported the girl to the hospital.
“I think she was breathing on her own (when she was transported),” Johnson said. “She was hooked up to all the medical stuff.”
The reason why the girl being submerged for so long is still being investigated by police, he said.
