Prevention
We are taking an
active part in the prevention of germs in
our pool, which is why we have to close the
pool for any fecal incidents. In the event
of a fecal contamination in the pool, the
pool may close from one hour, up to 48 hours
depending on the severity, in order to
properly sanitize the affected area. Healthy
swimming behaviors are needed by all patrons
to protect you and your kids from
Recreational Water Illnesses: (Center
for Disease Control Website)
All Swimmers:
1. Please do not swim
when you have diarrhea. This is especially
important for kids in diapers. You can
spread germs in the water and make people
sick.
2. Please do not swallow water.
3. Please practice good hygiene. Take a
shower before swimming and wash your hands
after using the toilet or changing diapers.
Germs on your body end up in the water.
Parents of Young Kids:
1. Please take your kids on bathroom
breaks or check diapers often. Waiting to
hear “I have to go” may mean that it’s too
late. Breaks are called every hour at ten
till the hour.
2. Please change and check diapers in a
bathroom and not at poolside.
3. Children under 3 years old and anyone who
is not potty trained are required to wear a
swim diaper and a vinyl pant.
