First Off I think its already been determined that this poor woman did NOT break into this pool after hours. To everyone who thinks it could not have been possible for to miss a body in the bottom of a pool. You are dead wrong simply put. Heres why: I was there everyday with my family from Sunday thru Tuesday at closing time and I was in the water very close to the deep end and didnt see her. reason being is On Sunday they pool personnell decided they were closing off the deep end (where the slide is and diving boards) they did this because the water was murky and you could NOT see to the bottom. I watched them dump chemicals in during pool check to try to clear it out. This didnt work. (probably because there was this poor woman down there). now on Monday we arrived and again the same side was closed for the same reasons and again on Tuesday when we arrived so it is very possible the reason the water was 'murky'' Was that there was someone down the bottom who was deceased. and for all of you who think she would have floated you are wrong especially if she was stuck on a drain or filter which could also have contributed to the water being dirty cuz if it was blocked the water could not filter correctly. Hindsight is definitely 20⁄20 and being there and seeing the water conditions along with whats been reported I absolutely agree that it is definitely possible she was there since Sunday and someone dropped the ball 'IF' this child did report her missing to pool staff who by the way the whole 3 days i was there did nothing but text on phones, read and talk to one another or pool goers instead of doing their jobs. I seen 2 young children nearly drown while i was in the water and no staff member came in after them both times another person in the pool came into action and saved the child. In my opinion 16 is way too young to be responsible for the lives of others, the lifeguards should be trained adults. Put these 16 yr olds to work elsewhere in the city if need be.

My thoughts and Prayers are with this womans' family may she rest in peace. I hope she did not pass in vain. Let this be a lesson that can be learned from. whether it is by inspecting all public pools to make sure proper drain and filter covers are in place so that this does not happen again. Or by training proper personnel to guard our pools. and definitely by showing parents how quickly accidents can happen. On Sunday alone there were as many as 60 children riding down that slide and diving board but there might have been half as many parents watching their children do so. They trusted in the teenage lifeguards to keep their children safe, which is their Job as Parents to do. Come on if an adult woman could have drowned (unseen) then your children could have also even faster perhaps.
