Healthy Water: New Look, Materials, and Spanish Pages

We have worked over the past several months to spruce up our Healthy Water website. Some changes you will notice include:

• New look. We redesigned and reorganized the site to make it easier to find what you’re looking for across all of our topics (for example, cross-cutting topics like Publications, Data, and Statistics).
• New materials. You’ll see new resources throughout the site, including:
  • Model Aquatic Health Code fact sheet [PDF - 2 pages]
  • Pool Chemical Safety posters
  • Preventing and Treating Childhood Diarrhea video 
• New Spanish pages. Visit our new Spanish portal in our Healthy Swimming section. Natación saludable: información en español includes 15 pages of information in Spanish on healthy swimming and preventing recreational water illness.
