A swinger is suing the NHS for more than £10million in damages after she broke her neck and was left paralysed when she dived into a swimming pool while drunk at a club night.

She suffered a permanent spinal cord injury and spent more than six months in hospital after diving into the shallow end of a swimming pool inside Blackpool swingers club Infusion in August 2021.

Staff saw her floating in the water and carefully got her out while her partner called 999, according to documents filed at the High Court.

She claims the paramedics caused further damage that paralysed her when transported her in a track chair – a wheelchair to transport patients – without supporting her head and dropped her causing her to hit the floor.

The woman will never walk again nor can she work or live independently, documents say.

She is suing North West Ambulance Services Trust and Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for personal injury damages and consequential losses.

She claims that the medics failed to realise that there was a possibility she could have hit her head in the pool.

In her claim she also accuses hospital staff of failing to recognise that she had injured her neck and failing to take measures to stop her spinal injury from worsening.
