Watch determined tourists wear sprint shoes & even STRETCH before dawn dash for Magaluf pool spot…having queued for 1hr
THIS is the frantic moment Brit "towel warriors" sprint for the best sunbeds around the pool at a Magaluf hotel - the second it opens. Desperate holidaymakers queued by the pool at Hotel Sol Barbados for up to an hour before staff opened it and seemingly let all hell break loose. 5 Determined Brit holidaymakers were seen descending on the pool area to nab the best sunbeds Credit: SWNS 5 Frantic Brits swarmed the seats after waiting an hour for the pool to open Credit: SWNS 5 Content creator Aaron Turner was seen gearing up for the sprint Credit: SWNS It is the latest chapter of the Aaron Turner, 34, was holidaying in Spain with fiancé Shauna Wall, 32, and their four-year-old daughter Halle when he spotted the bizarre scenes. The family, from County Meath, Ireland, said sunseekers would wait at one of the three busy pool entrances each day, Aaron claimed he saw tourists starting to queue from 9am - despite the pool opening at 10am.

As he lets them in when the clock strikes 10am - scores of swimmers Content creator Aaron said: "The queues would get pretty long. Most read in The Sun "Once the barriers opened, all the rules went - people were jumping the queue, and some were properly running." Aaron quipped that he had to don running shoes in order to beat the crowds and secure his seat. Shock moment two Brit women brawl on Tenerife street as leering yobs spur them on sparking local fury on holiday island Despite the chaos, he was seen appearing to have found a well-placed sunbed. He added that there were "definitely enough beds" - but that this didn't stop Brit tourists forming lines to win the best spots. "I thought it was hilarious, I've seen videos of it online before but it was the first time I experienced it myself," he said.

She was staying at the Aquasol Aparthotel near Joined by her husband and teenage grandkids for the trip, they were set for a much-needed week's break in the sun. But when they arrived, she was put into a hotel room that was five floors up and as far from the pool as they could have been. Because she suffers from chronic arthritis and is in a wheelchair, this made it a challenge to claim a hotel sunbed at opening time. She told the Sun: "We could never have made it down for 9am to get a sunbed. "So we went out to the beach and paid for sunbeds for the whole week." Another Brit tourist Rachel McGuigan and her husband David enjoyed a plush vacation in Turkey, but divided opinion after they put their towels on their poolside beds for half an hour while they went for their morning meal. She got angry reactions from some holidaymakers.
