CAPE CORAL, Fla.- A 2-year-old child is in critical condition after falling in a swimming pool.

First responders swarmed the home at the corner of Chiquita Boulevard and Embers Parkway around 11:30 a.m. Friday morning.

Officials say the 2-year-old’s father pulled her out of the family swimming pool and performed CPR.

“We took over the resuscitative effort, began our initial treatments and transported that patient to Cape Coral Hospital,” said Chief Ryan Lamb.

According to authorities, the child was left unsupervised and there was nothing keeping her from getting in the water.
