KENMORE, Wash. – It was a close call for three teenagers who were swimming at the indoor pool at St. Edwards State Park Monday afternoon.

The pool was full of kids at the time, but for some reason, the three girls who were practicing synchronized swimming at the deep end of the pool all fainted and went under at the same time.

...

"I saw the synch coach jump in with all her clothes on, which is very unusual," said Rachael Hublou, lifeguard. "She came out of the water and was holding a girl that was completely blue."

...

Witnesses said while the three girls were being resuscitated, another girl and the mother of one of the three girls went into shock.

The Fire Department has asked King County Health to check out the chlorine levels of the pool to see if the chemical might have caused the girls to faint.
