The main pool area had a "beach" entrance where it gradually approached zero depth and also included wave machines, a rapid river, whirlpool, and a hot tub.

[4] On 29 September 2007 shortly before closing time, a seven-year-old boy who could not swim drowned in the wave pool after becoming separated from the two older children he was playing with.

[9] After being reported missing, his body was found half-an-hour later underneath the pool covers.

[10] An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive found that the boy drowned in a blind spot and that lifeguards had not received adequate training on identifying blind spots and ensuring the pool was fully supervised.

[11] A temporary lifeguarding station was established until the wall that created the blind spot was knocked down.
