Marilyn's Photos Aug 2 2022 - Pool Rules

 

What about those pool rules?  What is the rationale for a "warm" shower before entering and after leaving the pool?

That vast amount of chlorine in the pool is there to oxidize harmful bacteria and germs.  That would be E-coli.  When chlorine mixes with our body's organic matter it can create a more toxic agent.  So a shower can reduce that - it removes sweat, lotions, sunscreen, bacteria and organic matter.   Here is what we bring into a pool - is this with or without a shower? 

 


And on exiting the pool?  Showering after swimming - the microorganisms that chlorine is attacking are in the water and they can create problems for us - skin, ear, respiratory, eye, neurologic and wound infections.  And if you swallow some water, diarrhea could also be a problem.  So showering after being in the pool is another protection against bacteria. 

So the diaper policy at the YMCA pool seems most relevant now. Snugly fitted please.  That could apply to the older swimmers in aquafit as well as the little babies in the toddler end of the pool.  

And our pictures today?  One of America's most famous swimming pools - San Simeon - the Hearst Castle in San Luis Obispo, California.
