Chlorine treated water will kill most germs but some bacteria can survive for many hours. Teach your children not to drink pool water. Encourage them to visit the toilet rather than wee in the pool and encourage them to wash their hands before getting back in the pool. Do not let your children swim in a pool if they have diarrhoea, especially children who are still in nappies.
