Swimming, one of the most popular activities in the country, is a fun, active and healthy way to spend leisure time. Every year, millions of people visit
recreational water sites, such as swimming pools, water parks, hot tubs, lakes, rivers or the ocean. Over the past century, the use of modern disinfections systems in pools and environmental improvements in our lakes, rivers, and oceans has improved the quality of
recreational water. Despite this, there has been an increase over the past decade in the number of outbreaks of illness associated with swimming. Did you know there are germs that are chlorine-resistant? Did you know that many illnesses are related to these
germs and are not the result of poor pool maintenance? Simple things like washing hands after changing a diaper, make sure kids take
bathroom breaks, and don't drink the water!!!! Check out
