Hi Andy,

Quick search on Google brought this up:

and also this:

Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council Fined £5,000 under HASAWA 1974 s3. 8 year old drowned in a swimming pool. Blindspots created by pool design and insufficient lifeguards on duty. HSE Prosecution Case F140000327 (15/10/03)

Hope this helps.

No prosecutions but two 'incdeints'

one, key holder and another employee (his wife)was taking their dog to swimming pool out of hours to teach it to swim (only found out while looking a cctv for vandalism).
Employee disciplined (lost job)

Swimming pool used for parties, got a bit wild and became notorious for these parties so had to stop them as children use pool and it wasn't appropriate for them to be in contact with the party revellers.
