A YOUNG Irish tourist has drowned after falling into a swimming pool on the Costa del Sol.
The 21-year-old died after he fell into the pool at the Apartmentos Buensol complex in Torremolinos.
He was part of a larger group of around 15 people holidaying near to La Carihuela beach.
Dragged out of the pool by a receptionist the man was pronounced dead at the scene after paramedics attempted CPR.
My thoughts go to the family and friends of this young man, and to the receptionist who tried to save his life. Hopefully this is the last this year and last year’s drowning figures are not repeated in our region. I offer a full package from initial health and safety reports and risk assessments to initial and regular ongoing training of lifeguards and first aiders in internationally recognised qualifications from the RLSS UK.
