The B.C. Coroners Service is investigating after a woman fell to her death at a popular swimming spot outside of Victoria on Saturday.

Sooke Fire Rescue Department Lt. Chris McCrea says it responded to a call from the Sooke Potholes Regional Park just after 8 p.m. PT for a, "long fall."

The park features multiple rocky embankments and boulders from which swimmers can scramble down to float in pools created by the Sooke River.

It takes about 45 minutes to drive from downtown Victoria to the popular Sooke Potholes Regional Park. (Capital Regional District)

"The 'potholes' are unique geological formations," says the park website. "Deep pools in the river rock that offer some of the best freshwater swimming in the region."

McCrea says paramedics and RCMP pronounced the victim dead at the scene and firefighters removed the body.

He said the department responds to up to eight calls about falls at the park each year.

So far, in 2016, there have been at least five.

"Most of them are for minor injuries, where we can walk the person out," said McCrea.

The coroners service says it may be able to release more information about the death on Monday.
