It\u2019s Healthy and Safe Swimming Week, learn more at swimhealthyVA.com<\/a><\/p>\n

VDH monitors water quality weekly at public beaches in coastal Virginia. Follow us to receive alerts: twitter.com\/vdhbeach<\/a><\/p>\n

Drowning is a leading cause of death among Virginia\u2019s children 1 to 4 years old. Always supervise children when they are around water.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t swallow the water you swim in! 1 mouthful of water w\/germs can make you sick for 2-3 weeks<\/p>\n

Diarrhea & swimming don\u2019t mix! Don\u2019t swim or let your kids swim when sick with diarrhea<\/p>\n

Germs in the places we swim can cause skin, ear, respiratory, eye, neurologic, and wound infections. Learn more at swimhealthyVA.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t drink and swim.\u00a0 Alcohol slows your reactions and can make you make bad decisions. Stay out of the water if you\u2019ve been drinking.<\/p>\n

Never swim alone. If an accident happens, having a friend with you could save your life.<\/p>\n

Pool Safety<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t let kids run around the pool. The ground can be slippery, and falling on concrete can cause injury.<\/p>\n

Chlorine doesn\u2019t work instantly\u2014some germs can survive in pools for days. Don\u2019t drink the water you swim in!<\/p>\n

Properly maintain pools and spas to control the growth of Legionella <\/em>bacteria, which can cause severe respiratory infections<\/p>\n

Help prevent germs from getting in pool water – take children on bathroom breaks and check swim diapers every hour<\/p>\n

Natural Waters<\/strong><\/p>\n

Swim safe!\u00a0 Don\u2019t dive or jump in creeks and ponds you don\u2019t know. Hidden rocks and snags can injure you.<\/p>\n

Water\u2019s up? Don\u2019t swim. Rainwater can cause sewer overflows and wash animal waste into rivers, and the germs could make you sick. Stay out a few days.<\/p>\n

Be especially careful when swimming with children in natural waters. Murky water and unexpected drop-offs can increase the risk of drowning.<\/p>\n

Watch out for riptides and strong currents at the beach, especially after stormy weather.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t swim in rivers with strong currents and near dams. You could get pinned under the water. Choose calm areas to swim.<\/p>\n

Dead animals are a sign of possible harmful algae blooms. Don\u2019t swim where you see them.<\/p>\n

Even crystal clear lakes and rivers can have germs. Don\u2019t get water in your mouth while swimming.<\/p>\n

Natural waters can have unexpected hazards! Never swim alone.<\/p>\n
