POOL HYGIENE GUIDELINES

Children who are not toilet trained MUST wear swim Diapers.

Don’t let kids swim when they feel even a bit woozy, or have diarrhea, particularly kids in diapers.

Warn kids not to swallow pool water.

Wash hands after using the toilet or changing a diaper.

Take kids on frequent bathroom breaks. It’s probably too late

if you wait until they tell you they have to go to the bathroom.

Change diapers in the bathroom, not poolside. Bare feet and

water on the surfaces around the pool can spread germs.
