People are so silly when it comes to throwing liquids, gases, etc. into swimming pools. This is a straight-up repeat of the incident in Leon, Mexico, in which someone poured liquid nitrogen into a swimming pool during a Jagermeister promotion, asphyxiating several of the guests.
There was a good deal of incorrect information about that one around the internet, including from some serious news agencies, claiming that the incident was a chemical reaction between the nitrogen and the chlorine in the water, releasing chlorine gas. The result is simply that the liquid nitrogen boils when it comes into contact with the much hotter water, forming a layer of gaseous nitrogen and asphyxiating anyone in the pool.
Bottom line: don't throw anything into a pool that's going to produce gas.
