The security officer at the World Championships who clarified the matter Béla Merkely has said in a statement that lifeguards are not allowed to go to the pool until the judge gives them a physical signal, according to Aftonbladet. The mark was eventually given in Alvarez’s case, but the coach had already reacted to the situation at that point.
