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

A six-year-old nearly drowned at the University of the District of Columbia’s campus pool during a soccer camp, prompting an immediate response from emergency crews and sparking a major safety review. The athletic director, aquatics manager, and on-duty lifeguards are on administrative leave as officials investigate — not as punishment, but to fully understand what happened. The pool remains closed until the investigation concludes, and a new official is now overseeing athletics operations. The university emphasized that student safety is their top priority and is committed to preventing future incidents.
