Back to newsA 3.5-year-old child nearly drowned in a hotel swimming pool in Crete, in an incident that prompted an emergency rescue. The child was pulled to safety in time, avoiding a tragedy. The location and exact date within the resort area were not specified in the report.
For families visiting Crete, this incident is a reminder to stay vigilant around hotel pools, which are a standard feature of most resorts on the island. Children should be supervised at all times near water, regardless of pool size or the presence of hotel staff. Many Cretan hotels do not provide dedicated lifeguards, and supervision remains the responsibility of accompanying adults. Always check with your hotel whether a lifeguard is on duty before allowing young children near the pool.
