Diarrhea is one of the most common illnesses linked to recreational waters. Do your part to protect yourself and others when swimming:
- Don’t swim if you are ill.
- Don’t swim or play in water if you or your child has been sick with diarrhea in the past 2 weeks.
- Don’t swallow the water you swim in! 1 mouthful of water w/germs can make you sick for 2-3 weeks.
- Shower with soap and water BEFORE and AFTER swimming.
Check out SwimHealthyVA.com for more swim safety information.
Don’t swallow the water you swim in! You can get sick with diarrhea by swallowing contaminated water in pools, hot tubs, lakes, rivers or the ocean. One mouthful of water w/germs can make you sick for 2-3 weeks. Make sure to keep any open wounds covered to prevent infection. Check out SwimHealthyVA.com for more swim safety information.
Cover wounds when swimming in bodies of water (especially brackish waters). Vibrio are a group bacteria that naturally live in coastal waters that can get inside an open wound and cause an infection. Check out SwimHealthyVA.com for more swim safety information.
Help prevent germs from getting in pool water. Take children on bathroom breaks and check swim diapers every hour. Check out SwimHealthyVA.com for more swim safety information.
Let’s work together to keep boat waste out of our waters. Safely dispose of boat waste at pump-outs to prevent recreational water illnesses. Visit https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/environmental-health/marina-program/maps-marina/ to find the closest pump out station.

Swim diapers can delay diarrhea-causing germs, like Cryptosporidium, from leaking into the water for a few minutes, but swim diapers do not keep these germs from contaminating the water. Take bathroom breaks every hour and check diapers every ½ hour. For more info, visit SwimHealthyVA.com. #swimsafe #staysafe

- Don’t swallow the water you swim in! 1 mouthful of water with germs can make you sick for 2-3 weeks. https://SwimHealthyVA.com #SwimHealthyVA
- Germs in the places we swim can cause skin, ear, respiratory, eye, neurologic, and wound infections. Learn more at SwimHealthyVA.com

- Almost 1 out of 2 (48%) hospitalizations among Virginia children aged 0-4 years from 2016-2020 were due to drowning in swimming pools. Always supervise children when they are around water. #SwimHealthyVA
- Every four days, one Virginia resident dies by drowning. Wearing a US Coast Guard approved flotation device while swimming could save your life. #SwimHealthyVA
- On average from 2016-2020 in Virginia, about one out of 10 deaths by drowning were swimming pool-related. #SwimHealthyVA

- Hot tub rash is caused by the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Prevent hot tub rash by:
Showering before & after hot tub use
Wash your swimsuit after use

- Visiting a creek or pond you don't know? Don't dive or jump! Hidden rocks and snags can injure you. Make sure you know the waters you swim in and never swim alone! #SwimHealthyVA
- Dead animals near water are a sign of possible #HarmfulAlgalBlooms (HABs). Don’t swim where you see them! Learn more about HABs at https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/waterborne-hazards-control/harmful-algal-blooms/ #SwimHealthyVA
- Be especially careful when swimming with children in natural waters. Murky water and unexpected drop-offs can increase the risk of drowning. #SwimHealthyVA
- Watch out for riptides and strong currents at the beach, especially after stormy weather. #SwimHealthyVA
- Don’t swim in rivers with strong currents and near dams. You could get pinned under the water. Choose calm areas to swim. #SwimHealthyVA
