Family members said they had been holding an Easter egg hunt and the girl somehow got away and ended up in the pool. It's believed she was in the pool around 10 minutes, Fernandez said.
The girl was rushed to Miami Children's Hospital as rescue workers were able to regain her pulse, Fernandez said. Her condition was unknown.
Fernandez said the pool was clean and was in working condition.
