A British holidaymaker is facing backlash and is being condemned for demanding compensation after he saved two small children from drowning in a hotel swimming pool. 32-year-old Steven Tartt dived in to save a seven-year-old boy and a six-year-old girl after they found themselves in trouble at the Victoria Playa Hotel in Santo Tomas, Menorca. 

The father of two pulled the two children to safety and was very angry at how the on-duty lifeguard failed to take any sort of action to help. The lifeguard has been sacked since the incident took place.
