A 4-year-old boy is in a critical condition at Son Espases Hospital after being rescued from drowning at a water park on Saturday.

The incident occurred around 12.30pm in Sa Coma (Sant Llorenç). The child, who lives in Mallorca, was taken out of the water in cardiorespiratory arrest.

The Medical Emergency Coordination Centre gave instructions to begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation until two ambulances arrived.

The medics were able to recover the boy's pulse, and he was then rushed to Son Espases. The Guardia Civil activated the green alert which clears roads for ambulances.

I think you have been greatly miss informed, there was no medical coordination, the life guard delayed responding choosing to remove his Sandles and socks; then had no idea what to do not attempt to begin cpr, instead ran with his whistle looking for another lifeguard. Only for the foresight of a male and female holidaymaker beginning cpr nothing would have been done. Absolutely aweful from the staff.
