A 3-year-old boy was being treated at a local hospital after nearly drowning in the Holmen Aquatic Center pool Wednesday afternoon, authorities said.

The child, whose name was not released, was not breathing when others pulled him from the pool about 2 p.m., said Doug Schober, chief of the Holmen Area Fire Department.

Several people at the pool performed CPR on the boy until First Responders arrived and revived the child, Schober said.

The boy was taken to Gundersen Lutheran Medical Center, but his condition was not available.

“Hopefully he’ll be back 100 percent and have no lasting effects from this,” Schober said.

He knew few other details on what happened, including how the boy ended up in water over his head. The child was accompanied by an adult at the pool, but Schober did not know where the adult was when the incident occurred.

The fire chief also was not sure whether there would be an investigation
