If you are a pool inspector, operator or lifeguard, have the latest information at your fingertips to answer patron questions. We all share the water we play and swim in. Learn about the germs that we all bring into the places we swim, how they could make you and others sick, and how you can take a few easy and effective steps to help protect yourself and others.

This app will tell you about:

• How we benefit from swimming. Did you know swimming can improve your health—and your mood?
• Where we swim. Did you know germs could be lurking anywhere you swim or play in the water—even in the pool down the street?
