During the hot summer months, the Glendale Aquatics Division would like to remind Glendale residents to follow some simple rules for water safety and healthy swimming. These rules should apply to your backyard pool and any pool you may visit during the summer.

Always watch your children around water (even at pools with lifeguards)

Learn CPR (The Glendale Fire Department Offers Classes)

Teach your children (and yourself) how to swim

Follow the 6 “PLEAs” of Healthy Swimming (Directly from Center for Disease Control Website):

  • Please do not swim when you have diarrhea. This is especially important for kids in diapers. You can spread germs and make other people sick.
  • Please do not swallow pool water. Avoid getting water in your mouth.
  • Please practice good hygiene. All City of Glendale Pools require participants to take a shower before swimming. Please wash your hands after using the restroom or changing diapers. Germs on your body may end up in the water.
  • Please take your kids for bathroom breaks or check diapers often. Waiting to hear “ I have to go” may mean it’s too late.
  • Please change diapers and swim suits in the bathroom or changing area and not poolside. Germs can spread to surfaces and objects in and around the pool and spread illness.
  • Please wash your child thoroughly (especially the rear end) with soap and water before swimming. Everyone has invisible amounts of fecal matter on their bottoms that end up in pools.

For more information on water safety and swimming programs,
please call 623 930-2840.
Have a safe and enjoyable summer.
