The hunt is on for a suspected voyeur who filmed a mum under a swimming pool cubicle as she got changed.

She was alerted to the incident at Whistable Swimming Pool, Tower Parade, Whitstable, by her son.

She said: "Some creep in the cubicle next to us had angled their phone on the floor to video me changing.

"Luckily my super boy spotted a hand holding a phone and, seeing my legs on it, called out 'mummy, someone's videoing you!'.

"The cubicle was empty by the time I'd worked out what he was telling me and it was pretty busy so there's no way of knowing who it was."

She added: "The disturbing thing is I'd never have realised if I'd been on my own as you would have to be at a child's height sitting on the bench to see it.

"You should put a bag on the floor so there's no gap underneath."

The pool is run by Active Life – and staff have been put on high alert.

Manager Maria Shaw said: "We are working hard to make customers aware of the situation and ask for them to be vigilant.

"Our staff are patrolling the changing rooms regularly .

"And we are asking customers who see anything suspicious to report it immediately, even if that means wrapping a towel around themselves and finding a member of staff as quickly as possible.

"We have signs up around the building making it clear any form of photography is prohibited."

The police have launched an investigation into the incident that took place at 3.30pm on Saturday.

Spokesman Scarlet Jones said: "We would like to speak to anyone who saw anyone acting suspiciously in the changing rooms at the pool at the time of the incident."
