 We all share the water we swim, play, or relax in.
That means each of us needs to do our part to help keep
ourselves, our families, and our friends healthy when we
swim. Germs can spread through the water in pools, hot tubs,
and splash pads and cause swimming-related illnesses.

or congestion, and eye pain.

diarrhea in the past two weeks, you should stay out of the
water.
