Marine Bureau Sgt. Kelly Locascio and Officers Jordan Colon and Tyler Williams were on foot patrol near 56 East Bay View Walk at 1 p.m. when they heard screams coming from a backyard, according to Suffolk County Police.

The officers learned the woman had gone underwater and failed to resurface, according to police. The homeowner entered the pool, pulled her out, and began CPR.

Officer Williams then took over CPR, police said. The woman regained consciousness after expelling water and beginning to breathe on her own.

The officers transported her aboard Marine Boat Juliet to Timber Point Marina, where Islip Exchange personnel met them and took her to South Shore University Hospital in Bay Shore, according to police.

She was listed in stable condition, police said.
