More details have surfaced surrounding Zac Efron’s scary swimming incident.
As we’ve been following, the Baywatch star was rushed to a hospital in Ibiza over the weekend. Reports described the Iron Claw star having to be pulled out of a swimming pool by employees at a villa he was staying at… Scary stuff. Up to this point, details have been sparse apart from a rep describing the hospital visit to TMZ as a precautionary measure for a “minor swimming incident.”
Ominous, right?
He was reportedly released the next morning, and on Sunday, got back to working out while thanking fans for all the support. So what exactly happened??

Well, sources close to the situation told TMZ on Tuesday that Zac and some buddies went for a swim in the wee hours of Saturday morning, but things took a dangerous turn when he attempted a dive. According to the insiders, his chest hit the bottom of the pool and he ingested a bunch of water into his lungs. Thankfully, hotel security was nearby and able to help him out of the water, but the High School Musical alum was reportedly pretty stunned as a result of the incident. Being so, he was hightailed to the hospital where he had chest x-ray done to confirm the water had been cleared from his lungs. Thank goodness!
He was approved for release within hours of his arrival, but reportedly stayed for longer to avoid the wave of paparazzi outside, according to the outlet. He seems to be in good shape though, apparently going out to dinner the same night as his release before returning to the US!
We’re so glad he’s okay! What a scary incident!
