Five lifeguards are reported to have been sacked following an incident in which a five-year-old boy nearly drowns at the Waterlane Leisure Centre in Lowestoft, Suffolk. According to the reports, the boy is pulled from the water after becoming unresponsive while an on-duty lifeguard intervenes and performs a rescue. The outlet says an investigation is ongoing and focuses on what is described as an “AI system blunder,” though details of the alleged technical or operational failure are not provided in the supplied information. The reporting indicates the incident occurs in a public swimming pool setting, and that the lifeguards’ dismissal follows internal or employer review linked to the circumstances of the near-drowning. Authorities and the leisure centre are said to be investigating the events, including the response and contributing factors. Further information about the boy’s condition, the timeline of the incident, and what the AI system was intended to do is not included in the provided excerpts.
