Are Swimming Pools Safe During Covid?

The coronavirus is known to spread through droplets of oral and nasal secretion from person to person or through touching surfaces on which there are such droplets and not via a waterborne route. This also means that prevention guidelines for swimming pools are the very same as for any other spaces: social distancing, the wearing of masks and the frequent disinfection of the hands as well as of the face.

While spending time in the water of an outdoor swimming pool might come, in itself, with a low risk of infection with the novel coronavirus, using an indoor public pool might involve the risk of infection through the close contact with other pool users as well as through touching the surfaces in the places used by the visitors of the pool, such as the lockers, the dressing room, the toilets and the surfaces in those spaces. Following the prevention guidelines in swimming pools poses special difficulties – it is almost impossible to wear a mask in the pool, avoiding contact with others is difficult, especially if the pool is crowded. Due to these specific challenges, experts recommend to limit pool attendance to the minimum, to wear a mask whenever possible and to maintain a distance of at least six feet while in the pool.

To keep your family safe, make sure to hire the services of well qualified pool maintenance Plano TX specialists for your home pool care.
