Six-Year-Old Nearly Drowns at UDC Pool | Washington DC News

A six-year-old soccer camp attendee nearly drowned at the University of the District of Columbia’s campus pool — sparking an urgent investigation and administrative leave for key staff, including the Director of Athletics and lifeguard manager, who allegedly stepped out for lunch during the incident. Despite 30 kids in the pool, no lifeguard was reportedly on duty when the child was pulled from the water. UDC has closed the athletic complex and pledged full transparency, while the family’s attorney commends the university’s swift response, emphasizing the child’s recovery and the need for accountability. The child’s condition remains uncertain.
