The staff of the pool complex was expecting 250 guests.

When 500 showed up, they probably didn’t have enough staff on hand to safely accommodate that many swimmers. These places have very strict rules about how many lifeguards must be on staff.

Maybe the situation could have been handled better, but pool businesses must follow the regulations, or they could be shut down.
