6 years old German boy had an accident with the school swimming lesson, is dead.
A six-year first grader, who had an accident with the school schwimming lesson in the Dinkelsbühler indoor swimming pool, is dead last Monday. He died in Nürnberger hospital on next day (Tuesday night, says the police.
Nobody knows why the boy is not survive at the swimming hour with 47 children since he was cared for by 2 instructors. An unknown time under water, is still unclear.
Clarity to an expiration of investigation is attained, so police speaker Stefan Schuster says. The public prosecutor's office in Ansbach take this case over.
At the moment this is not unclear to the questioning of a 28 years old teacher of 2nd grade class in the schwimming lesson as 44 years old teacher of 1st grade class who take the part of responsible as well.
According to a first autopsy result came by oxygen deficiency to the damages, which led in the long run to death, so the police says. It does not give medical signs for another cause of death.
It is examined whether the facts of the negligent could be present. The teacher was responsible formally for the supervision over the children of the first class.
Their colleague is considered as a witness. It´s also possibly that children are heard, is unclear. The public prosector of Ansbach decide whether who is the responsible......
Meanwhile at the small primary school with four classes and 94 pupils in the Hesselbergraum, where the boy visited, take the message of boy´s death take so bad. It affects them very strongly, says Principal Armin Kitysteiner.
Psychologist in school
A Psychologin of the team (Bavarian school) take care of boy´s parents, so the district government, too. All of education offices were informed about accident in swimming hours. Hans Seitz of the Ansbacher education office referred to the fact that often parents help with the supervision of pupils in the schwimming lesson. They want limit the pupils during swimming hour with up to 32 pupils an instructor.

Dinkelsbühler is around 40 minutes away drive from Ansbach where I live. Dinkelsbühler is belong part of Ansbach.
I can´t beleive when I read the newspaper today. I searched for English link but I can´t find so I translate from the newspaper into English to add here. (not translate all but some of important to add here).
I feel hurt for boy´s parents. He goes his first school last September 2005.
My hubby & I discussed about this today. We beleive that it´s swimming instructor´s responsible to neglect her supersivion, not first class teacher. I beleive that the situation affects instructor & teacher very badly. I can image how they feel when I´m in their shoes. I know it´s happened to them for a first time. I really don´t know what I should say... It´s scary... As what we know is: We signed to agree to let our children to go school swimming lesson during their first grade school... I can image it must be fear for the parents to let their children to have swimming lesson with instructor.
Tell me what do you think of this condition?
Let us pray for the parents of boy...

...first off, it's always sad to see and learn of a very young child's death, (my thoughts and prayers for the family and all involved directly) and whether or not 'neglect' is the issue here, I believe it's not just however many instructors and lifeguard being present, the liability and respondsibility will rest with the school itself, as it was pointed out that this was a school swimming function...as most of you already have pointed out that the 'ratio' of lifeguards and teachers presented per group was obviously not enough....Therefore, it's more of the school not providing a safe environment and having a reasonable amount of lifeguards provided...then again, this event may have been a school-sponsored event and held at another location where the pool is...if so, then perhaps some of the fault ought to be pointed at the school but not entirely....This much of the information provided here in this thread can allow for us to make premature conclusions when all the facts aren't presented....although, we all can agree that if there was indeed a short number of teachers and lifeguards presented and obviously calls for a much larger availability of lifeguards provided to meet the needs for the security of safety and assurance during any swimming event....
