• One intoxicated individual injured himself while trying to dive off of the steps into the pool
Two children were injured while playing around the edge of the pool
• Excessive drinking and not vigilant enough about monitoring patrons
• Parents not monitoring children’s activities plus a lack of vigilance by life guard staff
• Life guards and club staff need to partner with each other to watch for overly intoxicated patrons
• Parents need to be vigilant in watching children.
