HOW TO BE HYGIENIC USING PUBLIC SWIMMING POOLS

Public pools can be full of germs and diseases known as recreational water illnesses. In order to avoid contributing to these illnesses and to help avoid getting them, there are ways to be hygienic in public pools.

Avoid the pool with an open wound

You can also spread germs in the pool if you have an open wound. The residue from the open wound, either pus or blood, may leak into the pool from your wound. Make sure you check the members of your family for open wounds and keep them out of the pool if they have one.

Stay out of the pool if you have diarrhea

There are some situations when you should stay out of the pool. If you or anyone in your family has diarrhea, stay out of the pool. This can spread diseases through germs or through fecal matter residue that may be left on the body.

Stay hydrated before you enter the pool

If you go swimming when you’re thirsty, you might be inclined to (even subconsciously) take a few gulps of pool water, which could contain bacteria and make you ill.

Wear a swim cap

It will protect your hair from drying out and getting discolored from the chlorine and other chemicals in the pool. It will also keep you from releasing oils, dandruff, and skin particles from your hair and scalp into the pool water.

Wear a swimsuit

Do not substitute workout shorts or other athletic gear for a swimsuit. Wearing a real swimsuit is the best way to show respect to other swimmers. It’s also unhygienic to get into a swimming pool in anything other than a designated swimsuit.

Rinse off after you get out of the pool

Take a shower in the locker room or immediately when you get home. Get the chlorinated water off of your body. You’ll also take off other impurities, bacteria, and dead skin cells that can be present even in the cleanest of public pools.

Get clean before you get in

When you are going to the pool, you should make sure that you and your family are clean before you get there. This will ensure that you do not spread any germs when you get into the pool. Have every person in your family shower, wash your hair, and rinse really well.

Check pool hygiene

In order to be hygienic at the pool, you first need to make sure the pool is hygienic. Visit your public pool to check the pool inspection results and check the pool’s clarity. You can also check the chlorine levels in the pool by bringing your own test kit.
