There were two safety personnel, but it was found that the rescue was not carried out because they did not recognize it, which is shocking.
According to Chinese media such as Jimu News, a shocking accident occurred at a swimming pool in Xiamen, China on the 17th of last month.
The 35-year-old former badminton national team candidate eventually drowned after struggling painfully in the water for nearly half an hour while swimming.
He sank into the water for unknown reasons while enjoying swimming with his flippers on, but the two safety personnel at the scene did not notice. It wasn't until the third safety officer came that he was pulled out of the water, but it was already late.
He is said to have been good at swimming enough to enjoy as a hobby.
CCTV footage released after the death showed the first safety officer not coming to the rescue even after seeing him struggling in the water. Another security guard found the victim who sank into the water five minutes later, but he also left.
A third safety officer found it and rescued it late, but the victim was declared drowned shortly after being taken to a hospital.
The bereaved family strongly protested the rescue delay and demanded an explanation from the pool, but all three safety personnel were silent and the pool management did not provide an explanation for the responsibility.
Currently, authorities are investigating the incident, and criticism is growing over the negligence of safety personnel and the swimming pool's safety management system.
