Furious with local swimming pool

Very large pool, power cut in the middle of children's lessons. The rest of the building had emergency lights that kicked in a second later apart from the pool. Dozens of parents rushing from the mezzanine level and using their phones to check on the children. Staff took several minutes to locate a few dim torches and didn't have a. Clear evaction plan.

Aibu to think that just isn't acceptable? The gym, reception, studio changing rooms all had emergency lights but not the pool and it was pitch black. Will they have broken the law? A mad adrenaline rush for everyone!

I'm incredulous at some of the first responses here!

I am an adult who can swim, and I would be freaked out if it suddenly went PITCH BLACK when I was in the water.

I understand that mistakes can happen, but the pool should make sure there is emergency lighting in the swimming area.

So very unacceptable. It should be recorded as an incident and staff training, procedure and risk assessments scruitinised.
