General Swimming Health

• Don’t swim if you have diarrhea. Wait 48 hours before returning to the pool. If a swimmer happens to have diarrhea in the pool, it must, by regulatory standards, be closed until sanitary levels are restored.
• Shower and wash with soap before swimming. This ensures you are not bringing dirt or debris into the pool environment.
• Wash your hands with soap after using the toilet or changing a nappy
• Only change nappies in nappy change areas.
• Avoid swallowing pool water. The water contains cleaning chemicals
• Give Swimmers a thorough wash and moisturise after using the pool to prevent dry and irritated skin

Faecal Accidents

• Keep an eye on your children at all times
• Take children on toilet breaks every hour and check nappies every 30–60 minutes
• Only change nappies in nappy change areas – do not change nappies by the poolside
• Give non-toilet-trained children tight-fitting waterproof nappies
• Report any faecal accidents to the swimming pool staff
