Every Tom, Dick and Harry may be in the same pool and what happens next could be a plethora of happenings. So better be careful than sorry before we ask kids to use a public pool for the sake of their health and happiness. Did we think of their health safety and hygiene?

Every year almost five thousand patients roll in for chemical-related problems and half of these patients are children. This much may happen from a single pool where thousands may get sick and main sickness could be diarrhea.
