The boy regained consciousness and was taken to the hospital. Piattoni said the 10-year-old is back in school today. The park opened for the season on Saturday."The village has worked hard to recruit and train these guards but it's then that do the work, we are proud of the staff," he said.in Chicago when a Chicago Park District lifeguard quickly sprang into action and performed life-saving CPR.
