A 16-year-old male student surnamed Chen in Taoyuan City was swimming at the Taoyuan Municipal Swimming Pool on June 29 around 2 pm when a damaged and loose tile in the pool caused a cut at a recessed area that makes it easy to get out of the pool, resulting in two stitches. Democratic Progressive Party councilor Huang Chiung-hui received complaints from the public and inspected the site, finding multiple damaged tiles posing risks of injury. She urged the Sports Bureau to address the aging equipment in the municipal swimming pool by actually allocating a budget for repairs instead of just patching the issue. Huang conducted an on-site survey herself and discovered several damaged and loose tiles inside the pool.
