New website helps people avoid swimmer’s itch
People wondering about catching swimmer’s itch can get in the know with a University of Alberta website before heading to the lake this summer.
SWIMMERSITCH.ca lets people report their own cases of the rash, alert others to problem areas around North America, learn more about the condition and fill out a survey that helps U of A researchers pinpoint when and where the parasites that cause swimmer’s itch are most prevalent.
Swimmer’s itch is contracted by swimming in lakes, and is caused by the larvae of a worm-like parasites that are released into the water by infected snails and can penetrate the skin to cause the itch.
“We want to help people make informed choices about where they swim by providing information on where swimmer’s itch is occurring and through education, which is what the website provides. We want to use it as a tool to connect with people.”
The website provides updates on swimmer’s itch research, an online survey that lets people report their cases and a resulting map that shows the shifting locations and dates of outbreaks (factors like wind and time of day can influence where the parasite is most abundant), so they can decide whether they want to visit a particular lake that day.

Plans to turn shuttered Alexandria Theater into public swimming pool
A San Francisco movie theater closed for more than a decade, could reopen its doors again soon.
After closing its doors 15 years ago, the Alexandria Theater on Geary Boulevard in San Francisco’s Richmond District, is now a crumbling shadow of its former self. The historic theater closed its doors in 2004. Now the owners are preparing to reopen the theater as a 40,000Â square foot complex. But, instead of movies, swimming will be the entertainment of choice.
Plans call for two pools, a learning center and offices on a third floor.
