Recreational Water Illness

Recreational water illnesses (RWIs) are caused by germs and chemicals found in the water we swim in. They are spread by swallowing, breathing in mists or aerosols of, or having contact with contaminated water in swimming pools, hot tubs, water parks, water play areas, interactive fountains, lakes, rivers, or oceans. There are a few easy and effective healthy swimming steps all swimmers can take to help protect ourselves, our families, and our friends from RWIs:

• Well maintained pools are less likely to spread germs
• When possible, check to ensure the waters pH and free chlorine or bromine concentration are correct
• Stay out of the water if you are ill
• Stay out of the water if you have an open wound
• Shower before you get in the water
