The Tooele County Health Department would like to remind all those who live in Tooele County to think health and safety this summer - take aggressive steps to help stop crypto infection.
Healthy behaviors will help protect you and your kids from RWI's and help stop germs from getting in the pool in the first place.
Don't swim when you have diarrhea
Please don't allow sick children to swim
Don't swallow water - ever! If your child can't avoid swallowing water - don't allow them to swim
Good hygiene will always pay off! Be a role model - shower with soap and water before and AFTER swimming Make sure your kids shower before and after swimming and all water sports Take your children on bathroom breaks regularly Don't wait to hear "I have to go" - that probably means it's TOO late Change diapers in a bathroom - NEVER poolside Wash your child's bottom thoroughly with soap and water - fecal matter adheres to skin Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water
