The Center for Disease Control suggests six tips to reduce swimming health risks.
Don't let your child swim when he or she has diarrhea. This is especially important for kids in diapers. Germs can spread into the water and make other people sick.
Don't swallow the pool water. In fact, try your best to avoid even having water get in your mouth.
Wash your hands with soap and water after using the toilet or after changing diapers. You can protect others by being aware that germs on your body end up in the water.
Take your kids on bathroom breaks often. Waiting to hear "I have to go" may mean that it's too late.
Change diapers in a bathroom and not at poolside. Germs can spread to surfaces and objects in and around the pool and spread illness.
Wash your child thoroughly (especially the rear end) with soap and water before swimming. We all have invisible amounts of fecal matter on our bottoms that end up in the pool.
