Description	A relaxing way to beat the heat became a frightening way to spend the afternoon when chemicals spilled during what was supposed to be a routine pool cleaning procedure at the Hollywood Boys' Club. Paramedic treated and comforted young swimmers who complained of difficulty in breathing and sore eyes after workers spilled a half-cup of a muriatic acid-chlorine mixture while emptying it into a storage tank yesterday.

There was no danger to the neighborhood in the vicinity of Sunset Boulevard and Western Avenue, Sloan said. Photograph dated July 18, 1986.
