Family in hospital – Surprised by chlorine gas while swimming in pool

Date:

On Friday evening, a mother and her two sons went swimming in an indoor swimming pool in Feldkirchen/Donau (Upper Austria). Chlorine gases may have formed, which are corrosive to the respiratory tract, probably due to poor ventilation. The family had to be taken to hospital by ambulance.

The visit to the indoor swimming pool in the garden in Feldkirchen/Donau ended for the mother and her two children in hospital. A lack of ventilation has probably led to the formation of chlorine gas under the pool dome, causing severe respiratory irritation. The three had gone swimming with their grandparents when all family members suddenly complained of health problems.

As a precaution, the mother and two children were taken to hospital by ambulance as they all complained of breathing difficulties and a dry cough. When using swimming pools, adequate ventilation must always be ensured, the emergency services call.
