With the world, slowly but steadily
staggering towards normalcy, facilities such as swimming pools are being opened
for the public. For swimming enthusiasts and pool builders in Toronto,
this is great news. With the spread of Coronavirus and the resultant lockdown,
most people are hesitant to go out and swim in public pools. The fear of being
exposed to the deadly virus is the biggest concern for people across the world.

So is using a public pool dangerous right
now? Here's a look at what could happen if you dive into a public pool right
now, when the COVID19 pandemic still raging across the world.
Exposure to the Virus
Although the Centre for Disease Control and
Prevention has stated that there is no evidence so far that the disease can
spread through water, you must be wary of the surfaces such as handrails,
slides, diving boards, etc. These surfaces are touched and used by several
people, which means that you still stand the chance of being exposed to the
deadly Coronavirus. Engage an experienced pool builder to design a
private pool for you and keep your family safe from diseases.
Cryptosporidium
Cryptosporidium, also called Crypto, is a
parasitic illness that is spread through the urine and fecal matter of the
infected person. When you step into a public pool, you stand the chance of
being exposed to such germs. While all of us pray that we get clean water to
swim in without somebody peeing in it, the truth is that you never know. On
exposure to the parasite, you may experience diarrhea and stomach pain. Also,
you could spread the disease to several other swimmers. Imagine your children
jumping into an unsafe pool! Instead, consult an experienced swimming pool
builder to understand how much you should invest to get a beautiful private
pool for your home.
Chlorine Levels
Regulation in chlorine levels in the
swimming pool is critical. Imbalanced levels of chlorine can cause chlorine gas
or cause bleached skin and hair, burning eyes and itchy skin. You have no
control over these factors in a public pool, so it can be dangerous to swim
yourself or let your family members, especially children swim in them. This
problem can be solved by getting an experienced pool builder in Toronto to
design a private pool for you.
Safety of Swimmers
At a public pool, the number of swimmers is
quite high. Although life guards are present at public pools to prevent
mishaps, the ratio of lifeguards to swimmers is quite imbalanced. It is not
easy for a limited number of lifeguards to keep an eye on so many swimmers. If
you choose to go to a smaller pool, you may not find a solution. The smaller
the pool, the more congested it will be.
The situation may seem alarming and
disheartening. However, there is an easy solution to all these issues. Get a
private pool for your backyard.
If the cost of getting a pool installed is
a deterrent, think of the several advantages that a private pool offers. Since
you shall be in control, you can rest assured that the pool will be free of
germs and bacteria. Also, you can monitor the levels of chlorine and ensure
that your children and other loved ones remain safe.
