A mother reported that her 5-year-old daughter experienced nasal bleeding and ear pain following swimming lessons at C4 Gym in São Paulo, prompting an investigation into the pool's water quality.
A mother has filed a police report against C4 Gym located in the Parque São Lucas area of São Paulo, alleging that her 5-year-old daughter suffered from nasal bleeding and ear pain after attending swimming lessons. A medical certificate cited by the mother links the child's health issues directly to the quality of the pool water, raising concerns about safety practices at the facility.
This incident is part of a broader investigation into the gym, which includes the recent death of a swimming instructor, Juliana Faustino Bassetto, who fell ill following a swim class on Saturday. Authorities are investigating whether her reported poisoning was the result of improperly handled chlorine by a staff member. On the same day, at least six other individuals experienced health issues, with some remaining hospitalized in intensive care.
C4 Gym's management stated that they provided immediate care to all those affected by the incidents. The situation highlights potential negligence regarding pool safety practices and raises alarm regarding public health standards in recreational facilities, advocating for stricter regulations and family accountability in case of such health issues.
