Detailed explanation-1: -Pools, hot tubs, splash pads, and water parks can easily be contaminated by a person with diarrhea. Swimmers get ill by swallowing contaminated water. Chlorine doesn’t kill germs instantly which means germs can spread even in properly maintained pools, splash pads, or water parks.
Detailed explanation-2: -WEAR SUNSCREEN: Do not forget to apply waterproof sunscreen before entering the pool and reapply it when you come out of the water. Waterproof sunscreen works for 80 minutes if you are inside the water at a stretch. Also, use a lip balm with SPF 15, recommends FDA.
Detailed explanation-3: -Carry your medications and prescription, towels, first aid and extra set of clothes. Dress appropriately by carrying your swimwear. You can be at a risk of sun burn so wear appropriate water proof swim shoes which will protect you from slipping and injuries, hats and goggles. A sunscreen is must.
Detailed explanation-4: -Shower before and after getting in the pool. Stay out of the pool if you’ve had diarrhea. Don’t pee or poop in the pool. Use swim diapers or pants for little ones. Take breaks every hour. Don’t swallow pool water. Check the water with a portable test strip. 02-Jul-2019
