A 6-year-old attending a day camp at the Lansdowne National Conference Center was in critical condition after nearly drowning while participating in the camp's pool activities.

Shortly after noon, the Loudoun County Emergency Communications Center received a 9-1-1 call for a possible drowning at the conference center, located at 18980 Upper Belmont Place in Lansdowne. A lifeguard pulled the boy from the pool. The boy was unconscious and the lifeguard and members of the center's medical emergency response team had begun administering CPR when the county's emergency crews arrived.

The boy was transported to Inova-Lansdowne Hospital where he is currently in stable condition. The Loudoun County Sheriff's Office is investigating the incident.
