That gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “slip ‘n slide”

Recreational water illness (RWI) is real people, learn from this so it never happens to you …

Fact sheets - Cryptosporidium and Giardia in swimming pools and spa pools

Cryptosporidium parvum and Giardia lamblia are parasitic protozoan micro-organisms which cause infection of the upper gastrointestinal tract, symptomised by diarrhoea.

Public pools with high bather levels need to follow good protocols including filtration turnover and chlorination.

In addition, high use pools need something other than just chlorine.

High use pools should be designed and operated by qualified professionals who understand the management of high use commercial pools.

Chlorine alone is not sufficient.

Commercial level UV, ozone or other methods need to be used to supplement the water maintenance.

I thought this one was new information:

From the article:
“The following personal hygiene points are important:

• The toilet must be used before swimming - urinating and defecating in the pool is poor hygiene and leads to illness transmission.”

I can't even think about swimming in a public pool. I know too much...
