An off-duty La Crosse police officer is among the people credited with saving a child from drowning on Sunday at an indoor pool in Tomah. 

Police in Tomah say a couple saw the boy in the pool and got him out of the water, with help from the La Crosse officer. 

The Tomah Fire Department also happened to be training in the area and responded quickly. 

The child was taken to the Tomah hospital, and then airlifted to Gundersen, and is expected to be okay.
