Swimming is one of the best parts of summer, and with a few simple habits, we can help keep the pool fun for everyone. Don't let the facts fool you — we're not trying to keep anyone out of the water! We're just reminding swimmers to:
✔️ Shower before you dive in
✔️ Skip the pool if you're feeling under the weather
✔️ Take regular bathroom breaks
✔️ Try not to swallow the water (easier said than done!)
A little poolside courtesy goes a long way in keeping our community healthy all summer long!
