Hazardous swimming

Was swimming in my local gym last night in Drogheda and after 1000 yards I noticed one of the pools large underwater lights casing was detached from the pool wall and had filler with water. I got out of the pool and told one of the staff and they said they had called someone to come and take a look at it. I asked what would happen if someone turned them on in that condition and they replied..oh no ones going to turn them on. End of swim. 2000 yards short.only in Ireland.

Reckon those lights would have a very high Ingress Protection Rating, IP68, so unlikely it would cause a safety issue in its current state.

Nothing like the old public pool in drogheda, were the ceiling was falling in. They installed a rope net below the ceiling to catch falling items, thus protection the swimmers!! Fun times

This sounds familiar I'd swear some pool down in munster did something similar a few years ago. I have some vague memory of seeing netting under the roof.
