Crocodile forces swimmers to make snappy exit

Darwin - Swimmers cooling off in a pool in the northern Australian city of Darwin made a snappy exit on Sunday after realising one of their fellow bathers was a crocodile.

The young saltwater crocodile, measuring about one metre, is believed to have wandered into the 50-metre pool at a leisure centre from a nearby lagoon in the tropical northern port.

A spokesperson at the leisure centre said there were only about four people in the pool at the time and they left in a hurry after spotting the croc.

“They got a bit of a shock,” she said.

However, she said the crocodile “really wasn’t big enough to hurt anyone”.

Police and parks and wildlife officials were called in to remove the crocodile which was described as placid and in poor health.

It was taken to a crocodile farm on the outskirts of the city.
