Pool reopens after chlorine scare

A swimming pool at a Dorset holiday camp where children fell ill over the Easter weekend after inhaling chlorine vapour has reopened.

Fourteen children were treated after the incident at the Sandford Holiday Park, near Poole, on Saturday.

Ten were taken to hospital but were not seriously hurt and were discharged later that evening.

A camp spokeswoman said: "Safety is always paramount at the park and the incident will be fully investigated."

The spokeswoman added that new safety procedures had been put in place to avoid anything similar happening again.

The pool reopened on Sunday morning after an examination by Health and Safety officers.
