CONWAY — A 21-year-old Chicopee man drowned in the Conway Community Swimming Pool on Tuesday, according to the Northwestern District Attorney’s Office.

The death was confirmed by DA’s office spokesperson Laurie Loisel on Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. No further information about the victim is being released at this time.

The death came after two swimmers were rushed to the hospital Tuesday evening, one with serious injuries, after struggling to stay above water in the community swimming hole at 309 Whately Road, according to Conway Fire Chief Robert Baker.

Baker said the Fire Department was notified at 7:27 p.m. that two young adult swimmers were reportedly drowning in the pool. Upon arrival, first responders found one female swimmer struggling to stay above water, while a male swimmer had slipped beneath the water’s surface.

“We had to rely on our rescue divers to go down and get him off the bottom,” Baker said on Tuesday. “They were able to get him up and out of the water.”

Baker said the Northfield Dive Team was initially called to respond, but was canceled after the Conway crew was successfully able to get both swimmers out of the water.

The male swimmer was taken by a Northampton ambulance, and the female swimmer, who was visibly conscious and sitting upright as she was being carried away from the water, was taken by Conway Ambulance at around 8 p.m.

As of Tuesday evening, Baker said it was unclear what happened to the two swimmers and what led to their struggle.

“We have no idea what happened. A girl was screaming and crying that someone was drowning,” Baker said. “That’s all we know at this point.”

The Conway Community Swimming Pool at 309 Whately Road is owned and operated by the nonprofit-owned and volunteer-run Conway Community Swimming Pool Inc. The pool is reserved for Conway residents and their guests, and it is swim at your own risk, as there are no lifeguards on duty.

The pool is closed until further notice, according to a notice on the facility’s website.
