The star had taken in "a large amount of water into his lungs" after he made contact with the bottom of the pool.
The source noted that the Iron Claw actor had "showed signs of distress" in the moments following the incident, at which point security officials rushed in to assist him. Zac had been "momentarily dazed" and as a result, he was transported to a medical facility "as a precautionary measure".
