During a swim to beat the heat on July 2, 2024, a high school student in Taoyuan was injured by a broken and sharp tile at the municipal swimming pool, requiring 2 stitches on their ankle. The incident led to accusations against the management for not promptly repairing the tiles, despite their assurance of using temporary fixes. The municipal pool, in operation for over 30 years and the only outdoor standard swimming competition venue in Taoyuan, faces concerns about safety due to deteriorating equipment. Calls for budget allocation for renovations to address the underlying issues are being emphasized by city officials and the public.
