Why We Need to
Prevent Pool Accidents
According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), there has been an increase in the number of RWI outbreaks in the past two decades.
Chlorine and other disinfectants don't kill germs instantly. Also, the mixing of chlorine with pee and sweat uses up the chlorine in the pool, which would otherwise kill germs. If too many people pee in the pool or dive in while sweaty, that could mean less available chlorine to wipe out germs.
Keeping germs out of the water in the first place is key to keeping everyone healthy and helping to keep the places we swim open all year round.
