What should aquatic staff distribute to parents following a pool fouling?

Distributing Recreational Water Illness (RWI) information to parents following a pool fouling is crucial for several reasons. First and foremost, it educates parents about the potential health risks associated with contaminated water, which can lead to various illnesses in both children and adults. Understanding RWI helps parents recognize the signs and symptoms of potential infections that can occur after exposure to polluted water.

Moreover, providing this information emphasizes the importance of hygiene practices and encourages parents to monitor their children for any health issues after a foul incident. It also builds trust and transparency between the aquatic staff and the families, as they are being proactive about student safety and well-being.

While other materials might be relevant in different contexts, such as general pool guidelines or make-up class schedules, the immediate health implications of a pool fouling event make RWI information the most critical and beneficial resource to share with parents to ensure they are adequately informed and prepared to protect their children's health.
