A storm in paradise has sparked a legal dispute over pool rules in a Gran Alacant urbanization, ending up in court after a confrontation that involved punches. The alleged violator, her daughter, the lifeguard, the community president, and a local police officer who also lives in the complex became entangled in a sequence of accusations and counter-accusations. What was meant to be a quiet summer day in a residential area turned into a charged scene, leaving residents with a sense of unresolved tension.
Residents recall that this is not the first dispute involving the woman in question. Tensions stretch back several years, with the pool area proving a flashpoint on multiple occasions due to violations of posted hours. The same individual is reported to have had prior incidents with another staff member who works at the facility.
The Civil Guard in Santa Pola is finalizing the incident report, and new details continue to emerge as involved parties cross paths in shared spaces within the urbanization. Neighbors indicated that the women accused in the case left the area on Tuesday night, suggesting a temporary lull, though tensions may resurface. The official report is expected to be submitted to the Elche Court on Thursday, at the Instruction Four門 court in Elche.

The latest incidents began over the past weekend when the complex’s lifeguard asked a resident to leave the pool for violating hours. The pool was supposed to close for a midday break while security was not available, at around 3:30 p.m., which prompted the resident to stay in the water and continue swimming beyond the allowed time.
According to observers, the swimmer ignored the lifeguard’s instructions to exit and continued laps while the staff member urged her to leave. At one point the resident warned that she would report the lifeguard if pressured, and the discussion escalated when the community president stepped in to defend the worker and admonish the resident for disrespect. From the water, the resident kept swimming, pausing only briefly to respond to the president and the lifeguard. The exchange grew louder, with insults such as “gossip,” and “troublemaker.” The earlier confrontation was captured on a mobile phone, and the footage will be provided to the court as evidence.

The dispute soon escalated and turned physical after the arrival of the other woman’s daughter. A local police officer from Elche, who is also a resident of the complex, arrived to mediate and support the lifeguard and the president. He identified himself as an officer of the authorities, but alleges that he was punched and had his glasses broken during the altercation.
The lifeguard, the president of the community, and the officer filed complaints with the Civil Guard in Santa Pola. Allegations of assault against a public authority are treated as a serious offense, and the incident prompted further investigations into the credibility of the involved parties. The two women, aged 58 and 23, were questioned at the local police station as part of the investigation.

The complaint process did not settle the matter. Both sides later accused the other of aggression, claiming that the others misrepresented the events. The official incident report has required ongoing updates as new disturbances arise whenever the parties cross paths within the urbanization. The complainants argue that the behavior of the mother and daughter has caused sustained disruption to community life, highlighting a history of conflicts with other residents. On Tuesday night, the two women packed and left for Madrid, returning to Gran Alacant for seasonal stays in their home there.
