ALLIANCE — A 7-year-old boy is recovering after nearly drowning in an Alliance motel pool.
Authorities say Andrew Mooc of Alliance was at a swimming party this week when he was pulled from the pool. He was not breathing at the time, but an adult administered CPR and had the boy breathing again by the time rescue workers arrived.
Police say Mooc can’t swim, and was seen wading in the shallow end of the pool before an adult saw him doing what appeared to be somersaults underwater in the deep end. When one of the other children said he didn’t think Mooc could swim, an adult jumped in and pulled the boy from the water.
Authorities say the adult who administered CPR had been certified in the rescue technique only weeks earlier.
