Paramedic spokesman Supt. Darrell Drew said lifeguards at the Ottawa Athletic Centre on Lancaster Road initiated CPR and shocked the man with a defibrillator. Ottawa Fire Service assisted with CPR until paramedics arrived and put the man on advanced cardiac life support.
The man’s pulse had returned by the time he was transported to hospital, Drew said.
