- 5. Swimming pools A swimming pool, swimming bath, wading pool, or paddling pool is an artificial container filled with water intended for swimming or other water-based recreation. Such artificial pools can be built either above or in-ground, and be constructed from materials such asconcrete (also known as gunite), metal, plastic or fiberglass. They can be decorative or custom shape and size, or they may be of a standard size, the largest of which is the Olympic-size swimming pool. The "Great Bath" at the site of Mohenjo-Daro in modern- day Pakistan was most likely the first swimming pool, dug during the 3rd millennium BC.
- 6. Water quality-Analysis. Its no secret that swimming pools, although fun and refreshing, are essentially communal bath tubs. To help keep water clean and safe, pool operators must adjust pool chemical levels. Maintaining proper pool chemistry can be a challenging task, especially in community pools where the number of swimmers fluctuates wildly from hour to hour. Chlorine is strongly associated with swimming in popular culture. Although there are persistent myths about chlorine in swimming pools, chlorine is used as a disinfectant in the majority of pools to help prevent waterborne illnesses such as diarrhea, swimmers ear and skin infections.
- 7. Drowning-Prevention and control. Drowning is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as "...the process of experiencing respiratory impairment from submersion or immersion in liquid. Drowning can be classified dry or wet, depending whether the voicebox (larynx) goes into spasm and water is allowed to enter the lungs. Drowning is preventable. Learn how to swim, and should swim with a buddy. Don't swim alone. Never leave infants alone in a bathtub, sink, etc. Supervise children when near water. Swimming pools should be fenced with locked gates and inaccessible t unsupervised kids. Alcohol should be consumed in moderation when swimming or boating. Water flotation devices should always be used during activities on the water, for example, kayaking, jet skis, boats. The Coast Guard recommends and many states require wearing lifejackets.
- 8. Wounds and injuries Prevention Recreational water illnesses (RWIs) are caused by germs spread by swallowing or having contact with contaminated water in swimming pools. RWIs include a wide variety of infections, such as gastrointestinal, skin, ear, respiratory, eye, neurologic, and wound infections. The most commonly reported RWI is diarrhea.
- 9. Wounds and injuries Prevention Drowning is when a person dies in the water because he/she is unable to breathe. Most drowning is accidental. Children are especially at risk because they are interested in playing with water; yet do not know how to swim. Drowning commonly occurs in swimming pools, rivers, swamps, lakes, water drums at home, and even a bathing basin in case of an infant being bathed.
- 11. Drowning deaths
- 12. Injuries due to swimming Infection of the skin covering the outer ear canal that leads in to the ear drum, usually due to bacteria such as streptococcus, staphylococcus, or pseudomonas. It is usually caused in swimmer's ear due to excessive water exposure.
