Personal Hygiene Rules
No matter how well you’ve cleaned the pool, you must follow basic personal hygiene rules to prevent cloudiness or algae formation in the water.
Did you know?
The human body secretes various substances that can alter the quality of pool water. To prevent this, there are some basic things you can do:
1) Shower before entering the pool
When entering the pool without previously rinsing off in a shower, you transfer whatever is on our skin into the water. Oils, makeup, creams, body fluids, etc., scatter in the water.
If you don’t have a pool shower, it’s a good idea to get one.
2) Avoid applying sunscreen or tanning oil
There are two significant reasons why you shouldn’t wear sunscreen before entering the pool. Firstly, sunscreens and tanning oils dissolve in the pool water, creating a superficial, unpleasant cloudiness and making the water unsuitable for swimming.
Secondly, a substance in sunscreens reacts to contact with chlorine and sun exposure, causing serious skin problems. To enjoy safe swims without worry, avoid using them before entering the pool.
3) Shower after leaving the pool
As good as chlorine is for cleaning the pool water, it can be harmful to the skin, especially when not in the right amount (*Recommended control by specialists). It’s good to remove it with a shower. Thus, you’ll avoid any irritations.
*extra tip: Hydrate your skin with an after-sun product, as it may have dehydrated due to chlorine and sun exposure. Then use body lotion.
Basic Accident Prevention Measures
Besides personal hygiene rules, basic accident prevention measures are necessary for safe pool baths. Take the appropriate measures to be completely safe:
1) Have life-saving products
Lifesaving products are essential to have in every home or business with a pool. Measures must be taken for everyone, especially for small children.
Lifebuoys and lifeguard hooks are basic products that a pool should have for the safety of its swimmers.
2) Pay attention to pool stairs
Because the water around the pool can make the surface slippery, measures must be taken to avoid accidents.
Pool stairs are essential for maintaining the safety of the pool swimmers. Many may choose to enter the pool with a dive, but this is not something safe.
Better be safe than sorry…
To be sure about your safety and that of the swimmers, it’s good to have spare pool ladder parts. This way, you’ll be sure that the ladder will remain stable for safe entry and exit from the pool.
