Baby nearly drowns after his swimming ring flips, leaving him struggling underwater for 46 SECONDS before staff notice and save him
A baby learning to swim has been left under intensive care after having to struggle underwater for nearly a minute while pool staff were not paying attention.
The seven-month-old boy’s swimming ring had flipped, leaving his body immersed in water upside down. He later slipped out of the ring and carried on struggling.
Staff only realised the dangerous situation about 46 seconds later before removing the child from the pool, according to Chinese media reports.
The incident occurred on May 17 at a training pool operated by an infant care centre in China
