    A Detroit-area teen had to be rescued from a Holland pool and revived using CPR Friday.

    The incident occurred around 1 p.m. at the Holland Community Aquatic Center, which is located at 550 Maple Ave. The high school student from Wyandotte was diving as he warmed up before a qualifying round of the Division 2 state swim meet.

    Other divers and lifeguards spotted the teen at the bottom of the 13-foot-deep pool. Several lifeguards and fully-clothed coaches jumped in and pulled him out. He had to be revived with CPR.

    Once emergency responders were sure the teen was breathing, had a pulse and was conscious, he was taken to the hospital. He is expected to make a full recovery.

    The event was MHSAA-sanctioned, so there was a doctor and a medical trainer on hand.

    It’s unclear what happened that left the teen on the bottom of the pool.

    Garret Snook, a swim coach at Saginaw Heritage High School, witnessed the incident. He said this type of accident at a swim meet is extremely unusual.

    “Just a fluke incident. Just really scary,” he said. “I’ve never been anywhere near anything like this. I’ve been around the pool since probably I was 8 years old — the last 20 years of my life. First time I’ve ever walked away thinking something bad happened at a swim meet.”
