Fourth-grader almost drowned in Kletsk district
The incident occurred on August 16, around 4:10 PM, on a pond in the agro-town of Moroch, reports the Water Rescue Society.
The girl swam beyond the restrictive buoys and found herself at a depth of about 1.7 meters, approximately 15 meters from the shore. She was unable to return by herself.
The child began actively waving her hands in the water, trying to attract attention. Her parents were on the shore at the time but initially thought their daughter was just playing in the water.
Water Rescue Society lifeguards came to her aid in time. They promptly pulled the girl out of the water and brought her to shore.
Fortunately, the child did not require medical assistance.
