A 13-year-old girl who was rescued from the water in South Boston Tuesday remains in critical condition today at Boston Medical Center.

The girl was not breathing when she was pulled from the waters just south of Carson Beach, shortly after 5 p.m.

She had been swimming with two other girls when she ran into trouble near Mothers’ Rest, a fishing pier, and clung onto pilings for a while before disappearing. She was discovered more than a half hour after rescuers received a 911 call.
