A four-year-old girl was in fair condition Monday morning after being pulled out of an apartment swimming pool Sunday afternoon.
The girl was sitting with a group of children near the edge of the pool at 640 S. 20th St. at 3:24 p.m. when another child took the flotation device she had been using, said Lincoln Police Sgt. Don Scheinost.
The girl, who can’t swim, jumped into the water without the device, Scheinost said. She was face down, underwater when she was pulled from the pool.
Someone gave her chest compressions, Scheinost said. Water came out of her mouth and she vomited. When rescue workers arrived, the girl was lying on the cement with her eyes opened, breathing, Scheinost said.
She was taken to BryanLGH Medical Center West for precautionary measures.
The apartment building is owned by MBA Apartments LLC, according to the Lancaster County Assessor’s Office.
