    There is no evidence that COVID-19 can be spread to humans through the use of pools and hot tubs. Proper operation, maintenance, and disinfection of pools and hot tubs should remove or inactivate the virus that causes COVID-19.

    Layers of protection help us to stay safe around the water.

    Here is a tip to help you remember how to take care of us around the water

    • Tip 1: Never leave us alone near the water, even for a few seconds.
    • Tip 2: Have at least one adult “water watcher” us in the pool at all times. If you are with a group, adults, please take turns. And adults don’t forget to wear your water watcher tag so everyone knows who is in charge.
    • Tip 3: Sign us up for Survival swim lessons when we are little. We get to learn how to swim by ourselves and float on our backs. Yep, even when we are little, we’re able to swim!
    • Tip: 4 Swimming pools should have fences, alarms, and drains that meet safety regulations to keep us safe.
    • Tip: 5 Always keep safety equipment near the pool. Reaching and throwing aids should be close by.
    • Tip: 6 Parents and water watchers, please learn how to perform CPR and rescue techniques so you can help in an emergency.
    • Tip: 7 If a child is missing, ALWAYS check the pool first.” We love to play in swimming pools and want to be safe Sign up for these classes today! Swim, Float, Survive! And Pool Safely!

    Ben has been training for a swim-a-thon that he’s hoping will still happen next month. As you can see he took advantage of the recent rains and a wet driveway to fine-tune his breaststroke skills. Because of social distancing, swim practice has been canceled leaving Ben and all swimmers trying to get creative on how to stay in shape. Ben swims for Crawfish Aquatics in Lafayette.

  • 3 teenage girls break into a closed-off pool. Then their friendship is tested. | Night Swim

    Teenage friends Carson and Becca are enjoying a night out in Rockaway and Coney Island when they’re joined by a new friend, Julie. The vibe is loose and fun, except that Carson feels a little left out and threatened by Becca’s rapport with Julie, who has the devil-may-care confidence of the archetypal “cool girl.”

    When Julie incites their trio to break into a nearby closed-off pool at night, they encounter trouble, and Carson makes a key decision — and tells a lie — that has dark consequences.
