A nine-year-old boy has tragically drowned after silently slipping beneath the water at a public pool.
The young boy was dragged unconscious from the water at Waikerie Pool on Lawrie Terrace in South Australia's Riverland region at 3.30pm on Saturday.
Emergency services were called to the scene and paramedics attempted to revive the boy before he was rushed to Waikerie Hospital where he died.
The incident prompted the swimming centre to close early with the death sending shockwaves throughout the small town, which has a population of just 2,600 people.
