Two children were sitting on a float near the reservoir\u2019s swim beach in Cherry Creek State Park at about 4 p.m. Saturday, according to a news release from Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Neither child was wearing a life jacket.<\/p>\n

One child left the float while in shallow water and walked back to shore, but the other continued floating deeper into the reservoir, agency officials said in the release. Witnesses saw the second child go underwater shortly before 4:30 p.m. Saturday.<\/p>\n

A seasonal park ranger with Colorado Parks and Wildlife and other state park visitors jumped into the reservoir to attempt a rescue, according to the release. South Metro Fire Rescue\u2019s dive team was conducting water rescue training in another part of the park, and divers were searching near the swim beach within minutes, according to state wildlife officials.<\/p>\n
