7 signs that your swimming pool is not safe enough
You need to be careful before deciding to go swimming, because that blue water can bring unexpected dangers.
Pool manager does not test water:Swimming pool water needs to be tested regularly to ensure that chemical levels do not exceed safe levels. Swimming pool water needs to be tested twice a day. If chlorine levels in swimming pool water are not controlled, microorganisms such as norovirus (causing diarrhea, stomach cramps, vomiting) can affect the health of swimmers.
Cloudy swimming pool water:If the pool water is not clear and bright, never go swimming in it. This can be dangerous to the health of swimmers. You should also pay attention to the pool drain covers to ensure safety when the pool water is sucked out.
There is algae in the swimming pool:Green water algae produces cyanobacteria and can thrive in unclean pools, especially in areas that get a lot of sunlight. The frothy, smelly scum that floats on the surface of the water has a distinct green hue, so be careful before getting in the pool.
Baby in the pool:Babies who are not old enough to take care of themselves can contaminate pool water with the parasite Giardia lamblia, which is found in their feces. Diaper leaks, which are inevitable in swimming pools, can contaminate the entire pool. If a swimmer accidentally swallows pool water, it can cause diarrhea and vomiting.
There are too many people in the swimming pool:Every extra person adds a whole host of germs, bacteria, and viruses to the pool water. Too many people in the pool also distracts lifeguards, making the pool less safe.
Pool ladders must not be removed when not in use:Pool ladders are essential tools for getting in and out of the pool, however if there is no adult or lifeguard present, pool ladders should be stored away to prevent small children on the shore from accessing the ladder and slipping into the pool.
No safety fence around the swimming pool:All public swimming pools for children must have safety barriers or barriers around them. The barriers should be between 0.6 and 1.2 meters high, and surrounded on all four sides of the pool so that small children cannot access the pool without adult and lifeguard supervision./.
