One mother, who had taken her children to the centre on Thursday afternoon, said: “As we pulled in, we parked and got out and there was a little boy really coughing outside the swimming pool, we thought ‘goodness me’.<\/p>\n
“We walked up to the entrance and there was another man coughing.<\/p>\n
“We stood in a long queue and started to think there was something wrong, as there were lots of lifeguards around and people coughing and spluttering.<\/p>\n
“We got to the front of the queue and they said we’re evacuating, and only at that point did they sound the siren.”<\/p>\n
Outside, towels were being handed out and after the fire brigade arrived crews started to give oxygen to people, she added.<\/p>\n
“We saw streams of people coming out of the swimming pool, just in their swimming costumes,” she said. “Thank goodness it’s a warm day.<\/p>\n
“Our eyes were stinging a little bit. There were lots of police cars and fire engines arriving, we just hope everyone’s OK.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One mother, who had taken her children to the centre on Thursday afternoon, said: “As we pulled in,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":719307,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-719306","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/719306","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=719306"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/719306\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/719307"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=719306"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=719306"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=719306"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
