The frantic search for an 11-year-old girl who drowned during a birthday party at a water park was 'like a nightmare', an inquest has heard.
Kyra Hill sparked panic when she got into difficulty in a designated swimming area at Liquid Leisure near Windsor, Berkshire, in August 2022.
A 17-year-old lifeguard named Abbi reported concerning splashing in the beach area where Kyra was eventually found, Berkshire Coroner's Court heard.
However searches for the girl were initially carried out on land and in other parts of the lake, the inquest was told.
Loud music was playing and a mother searching for Kyra shouted at a senior member of staff to turn it off, the inquest heard on Wednesday.
