By Michael Corcoran, Globe Correspondent

A 4-year-old boy was rescued this afternoon after hitting his head when falling into a pool at a Kingston country club.

The boy was initially unconscious when he was pulled out of the water by lifeguards at the Indian Pond Country Club. They, along with several bystanders, performed rescue breathing, the Kingston Fire Department said in a statement.

The boy had expelled water and was semiconscious when the Fire Department arrived shortly after 2 p.m., the fire officials said.

The child was to be flown to a Boston hospital, but because of foggy conditions, he was taken to Hasbro Children’s Hospital in Providence, the fire officials said. Messages left at the Indian Pond Country Club were not immediately returned.
