Croc shock for children at local swimming pool

A GROUP of children, ready for their early morning swim class in Darwin, Australia, got a nasty fright when a 1.6m crocodile got there first.

“They turned the lights on, noticed a dark shape in the corner which scuttled over the lawn and into the water,” said a staffer at Nightcliff Pool, Louise Salathiel.

“There were a few screams and then some cheering, they’re just kids.”
