A three-and-a-half-year-old child was hospitalized in very serious condition late Sunday afternoon after drowning in Bordeaux-Lac.
Around 5:15 p.m., he was taken out of the water by a swimmer before being taken care of by the Gironde firefighters.
The latter managed to resuscitate him on the beach after a few minutes.
