    Nineteen people were treated and hospitalized after being exposed to a pool chemical at a Thousand Oaks swim club Wednesday evening, officials said.

    The incident occurred at Daland Swim School in the 100 block of East Wilbur Road around 6:30 p.m.

    Swim instructors said it all happened in a matter of seconds during a routine swim practice. The children in the pool started coughing and some complained they couldn’t breathe.

    “That’s never happened here before, so for us it was quite a scary moment,” facility owner Leslie Darland-James said.

The beaches popular with tourists are also home to nesting sea turtles who are vulnerable to the water and noise pollution that has accompanied growth here. Klaus dives in to learn more about what is happening in this paradise.
