A Hastings public swimming pool has been closed after 20 high school students began vomiting during the school's swimming sports this morning.
Taradale High School principal, Stephen Hensman, said 20 students become sick shortly after entering Frimley Pools at about 9am.
Another 20 swimmers then felt nauseous and ill soon
after.
"We made a call very early on to call it off as obviously something wasn't right," Mr Hensman said.
It's understood a water-borne bug had been ruled out as the effects were too instantaneous.
