Swimming Pools
Swimming is wonderful exercise for kids and they love it! If you have a backyard pool, keeping it both clean and safe is now easier than ever. Many new technologies utilize chlorine reduction systems like solar pool ionizers to keep pool water free of algae and germs without compromising your family’s health. If you are considering installing a backyard pool, concrete or gunite are healthier choices than PVC plastic liners.
If your child swims in a public pool, make sure he/she showers thoroughly with soap and shampoo after swimming to remove chlorine, algaecides and other chemicals used to treat pool water.
