The mother of an Oregon high school swim team member who drowned after becoming trapped underneath a pool cover following practice is suing for $70 million.
Nabila Maazouz, 14, had just finished an evening practice with the swim team at Liberty High School in Hillsboro on Nov. 20, 2019. Coaches instructed the team to cover the large outdoor pool with the heavy ThermGard pool covers that were rolled up on a storage rack, according to a lawsuit the teen's mother, Patricia Maazouz, filed Tuesday in Multnomah County Circuit Court.
Again, Nabila and her teammates swam with the second cover toward the opposite end of the pool. According to the lawsuit, they swam underneath the cover to grab the third one but Nabila never resurfaced. Patricia Maazouz was waiting in a parking lot for her daughter but the teen never came out. About 9:20 p.m., less than an hour after the team was allegedly instructed to cover the pool, the mother went inside and asked the swim coaches where her daughter was.
The mother is suing the city of Hillsboro, the school district, and the city's Parks and Recreation Department for wrongful death and negligence. She says the pool covers were"unreasonably dangerous" because they did not allow the team to cover the pool without getting in the water and the covers created a"dark and disorientating underwater environment" for the swimmers.
