A family from Devon is raising awareness of the dangers of natural pools after narrowly escaping drowning on a trip to the Canary Islands.A series of large waves struck a man-made natural pool in Los Gigantes, on the western coast of Tenerife, on Sunday December 7, killing four people, with one individual still reported missing.Kai Barrington, 42, Sarah Jellard, 39, and their 20-month-old baby, from Braunton, had been on holiday on the island and visited the tourist hotspot on the same day.
00:30What makes it just scary is that from the pictures you can see there's a very calm sea pool and it's one that anybody going on holiday would have gone into.
00:52To those poor families of the victims it's just it's it's it didn't have to happen and they didn't do anything wrong that day they did exactly what we did we went down on a sunny day where the sea looked calm and as Kai said when we left we were turning people away to say don't go there don't go there there's there's been fatalities.
