Swimmers fall ill after inhaling 'chemical fumes' at gym's infinity pool

Swimmers started to feel seriously ill after being exposed to "chemical fumes" at a gym's infinity pool.

Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service received a call from gym-goers at Athelis Club & Spa, off Charon Way in Warrington, at around 3pm on Thursday, September 1 after a number of swimmers started falling ill. Once three fire engines arrived at the scene, they found 11 people were struggling to breath and staff told members to leave the building due to suspected chlorine leak.

The North West Ambulance Service were called to the £85 a month gym to assess and treat people who were inside. All staff and members were accounted for during the incident.
