The legal consequences for the 24-year-old could be considerable.

The processing of this case resulted in the conviction of a swimming teacher for negligent killing. A similar tragedy in the “Calypso” could now develop the discussion about responsibility and security in swimming pools. You will definitely discuss the more precise circumstances and the dangers for children when swimming. In the meantime, the debate about supervisory duties in swimming pools and leisure complexes remains up to date. The incident underlines the need that supervisors always have to remain attentive to ensure the safety of the children and to avoid such dangerous situations. An incident like this could have serious consequences, both legally and for the child and his family affected.
