CPR was in progress when officials arrived, and paramedics immediately began treating the boy, officials said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text text-start\">The child was taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition, officials said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text text-start\">The Scottsdale Fire Department urges everyone to practice vigilant water safety:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list | article-list\">\n<li>Designate a responsible adult as a \u201cWater Watcher\u201d whose only job is to supervise children actively around the water.<\/li>\n<li>Never leave children unattended in or near a pool, even for a moment.<\/li>\n<li>Install and maintain barriers, self-closing and self-latching gates, and other layers of pool protection.<\/li>\n<li>Learn CPR. Immediate bystander CPR can significantly improve outcomes during a drowning emergency.<\/li>\n<li>Ensure children wear properly fitted U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets when appropriate, but remember that life jackets are not a substitute for close adult supervision.<\/li>\n<li>Keep phones and other distractions away while supervising children around the water.<\/li>\n<li>Drowning can happen silently and in seconds. Constant, attentive supervision is the best way to prevent a tragedy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"text | article-text text-start\">See a spelling or grammatical error in our story? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azfamily.com\/page\/send-us-your-feedback\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Please click here to report it<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text text-start\">Do you have a photo or video of a breaking news story?
