'Strong smell': Thirteen children began vomiting violently at Chesham Leisure Centre, Buckinghamshire . School: Parents arrived at Gateway School in Great Missenden, pictured, to ambulances tending to their children . ‘They took a decision to get them off site as quickly as possible and got them back to school where they had ambulances waiting,’ said the mother. ‘For many, it was their first swimming lesson.’ All were discharged, but their parents are furious. ‘We’re so cross as we are not getting any answers,’ said another mother. ‘There has been no confirmation about what was in the water.’ Greenwich Leisure Limited, which runs the centre, apologised. ‘Water circulation in the pools failed to restart after a planned power-cut… which resulted in a strong smell in the pool area,’ it said.
