A woman remains in grave condition and on life support after she and a young child nearly drowned in Lake Lanier.
The pair were swimming in the Van Pugh Park south in Hall County on Sunday when they went under.
According to rescuers when the boat pulled up to a sand bar, a 24-year-old woman got out to swim and at one point submerged.
It took crews 12 minutes to locate the victim who was found in eight feet of water.
She was rushed to Northeast Georgia Medical Center where she was listed in critical grave condition and on life support.
A six-year-old boy in the same party also had to saved.
Authorities said he was blue when crews pulled him out of the water.
That child was resuscitated and then taken to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Eagleston for evaluation.
The names of the victims have not been released nor did rescue workers say what their relationship was -- other than to say they were from the same party.
