7 signs that your swimming pool is not safe enough
You need to be careful before deciding to go swimming, because that clear blue water can bring unexpected dangers.
Pool manager does not test water:Pool water needs to be tested regularly to ensure that chemical levels do not exceed safe levels. Pool water needs to be tested twice a day. If chlorine levels in pool water are not controlled, microorganisms such as norovirus (causing diarrhea, stomach cramps, vomiting) can affect the health of swimmers.
Cloudy pool water:If the pool water is not clear and bright, never go swimming in it. This condition 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 uncleaned 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 color, so be careful before getting in the pool.
Baby in the pool:Babies who are too young to take care of themselves can contaminate pool water with the parasite Giardia lamblia, which is found in their feces. Diaper leaks - a common occurrence 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 the 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 are no adults or lifeguards 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 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 young children cannot access the pool without the supervision of adults and lifeguards./.
