Meningitis
I have head of this sort of thing before. Can be caused by contaminated water entering the nose, and ending up in the blood flow to the brain, and then causing an inflamation of the Meningis, the outer lining of the brain, hence Meningitis.
I wouldn't be surprised if the water in the pool, his swimmng, and his condition were not related.
A friend of mine had his kid suffer the same condition, and it was eventually tracked down to him getting a squirt of water up the nose while playing with a garden hose on a hot day!
Hope he makes a quick and full recovery, and goes on to more ribbon winning. And hopefully within 10 years type 1 diabetis will be cured.
Life, sometimes, is just out to get you!
