I have a small swimming pool at home. How can I better keep it hygienic?

This little girl who loves swimming suggests reading the following article. Your concerns are not superfluous at all. It is a common objective situation. Not only men, but also female compatriots may not always do well. You can't go to a public swimming pool if you are too particular. The simple way to deal with it is to eat a few garlic capsules after swimming and take a shower as soon as possible. Of course, a healthy person has strong resistance, especially a little girl like you who insists on swimming and exercise. Please don’t be dissatisfied after reading the information below. I am just basing my opinion on the matter based on my personal experience and relevant reports I have seen. The friend who told you that the swimming pool water was not clean enough probably meant well, but he just didn't paint the situation clearly. I hope my information can be helpful to you.

The first part: my experience; the second part: excerpts from newspapers and periodicals. I’m asking a swimming friend a sensitive question, please enlighten me

First of all, let me talk about two things:

When I graduated from junior high school, I went swimming at the beach for the first time. I wanted to urinate in the middle, but I just landed on the beach. , I was worried that I couldn’t find the toilet. I heard someone calling a girl in a skirt. The girl turned around and said, "I'm going to the bathroom!" "I want to go too!" Following the sound of the girl's bell ring, a girl in a swimsuit chased after her. He also looks like a student. Eager to find the restroom, I took two steps to catch up with the girl in a swimsuit. "Sister, where is the toilet?" She pointed and said, "Untie your little hands and go there." I followed the direction she pointed and saw that it was a simple changing room on the beach surrounded by plastic sheets. Watching them walk into the women's locker room quickly, could it be that they were peeing on the sand in the locker room (the men's locker room smelled bad, and the sand next to it was a little damp. You guys are so careless, maybe There are no toilets at the beach, but they... are a bit too generous.) After a while, they walked out of the simple changing room hand in hand, talking and laughing, feeling extremely relaxed. I was too embarrassed to relieve myself in the locker room, so I changed my clothes and left the beach. After walking around for about fifteen minutes, I found a public toilet.

Another time, I went to swim in an open-air water park on a midsummer day. There were quite a lot of people at that time. As soon as I entered the locker room, I immediately smelled a distinct smell of urine, but there was no toilet inside. It took two minutes of changing clothes for me to understand. In just these two minutes, there were four or five people urinating against the wall drain in the locker room. I thought to myself: I don’t know why there is no toilet in such a big water park. I wanted to go to the toilet in the middle of swimming, but when I looked around, there was really no place that looked like a toilet, and I didn’t notice the signs for the toilet. I casually asked a man on the shore where the men's restroom was, do you know? A lady next to him (maybe his wife) said casually: "Changing room." Next to him, a ten-year-old girl wearing a pink swimsuit (maybe his daughter) immediately answered: "Go in and pull over." "The man added: "I can only urinate, but I can't relieve my hands." After hearing what they said, there were a few questions in my mind. Later, I searched carefully and found a small house that was a toilet in a corner of the park. It was quite far away from the changing room, and you had to go down more than a dozen steps to see it. No wonder so many people peed in the changing room. . The toilet is clean and quiet.

Through the above two things, I was almost confused. Female compatriots should be very clean and hygienic. How could it be that I happened to be too lucky several times? Or here I think Ask female compatriots who like swimming and hope to get honest answers: Are there many uncivilized people in the women's locker room? Do the women's locker rooms at some swimming pools smell obviously like urine when there are many people? It's a bit presumptuous to ask, but I'm embarrassed to ask this question to a lady face to face. I'm afraid others may not answer truthfully. No matter what, what I am asking for advice here is the truth. Thanks.

The following content is selected from a newspaper report in a city:

In the experiment, the reporter found that the poolside of the swimming pool was basically kept clean and tidy, but related supporting areas such as changing rooms and The environment such as bathrooms is obviously not taken seriously by the operators.

In the men's locker room of a swimming pool, the reporter noticed that the lights were dim, there was a layer of turbid water on the ground, and there was a peculiar smell floating in the room.

In the women’s changing room of another swimming pool, female witnesses who were traveling with them also found that the environment here was relatively simple, with dark lights and noisy people. Since there were no partitions, the female customers were all in other people’s rooms. Change clothes in sight. In addition, because many of the hooks on the wall have fallen off, customers have nowhere to put their clothes when changing clothes and have to hold them in their own hands, which is very inconvenient. The slippery ground made barefoot customers cautious, and some children squatted on the ground to urinate.

Most of the swimming pools tested in this trial have separate changing rooms, shower rooms, and toilets. However, there are also some swimming pools where the changing rooms, shower rooms, and toilets are completely together, making customers feel relatively crowded and inconvenient. .

Some foot immersion disinfection pools have become dummy health supervision departments: the depth should be no less than 20 cm

In this experience, the reporter found that although most swimming pools have foot immersion disinfection pools It has served the purpose of compulsory disinfection, but there are still some swimming pools where the foot dipping disinfection pool has become a virtual reality.

In a swimming pool with good conditions, the reporter found that the disinfection pool was two meters long, with depths ranging from shallow to deep, with the deepest reaching the waist. The pool water had a faint smell of disinfectant water, and customers also They all carefully soaked their feet and disinfected them. But not all swimming pools have such conditions.

In another swimming pool, the reporter saw that the water in the disinfection pool was only ankle-deep, less than 20 centimeters. Moreover, because the disinfection pool was not set up on a must-pass road, some people who came to swim bypassed the disinfection before entering the water. Some people may not notice the disinfection pool at all, thus turning it into a decoration.

For regular swimming pools, customers must pass through a foot-immersion disinfection pool containing high residual chlorine before entering the swimming pool after changing clothes. The depth of the water in the disinfection pool should be no less than 20 cm, and the pool water should also be replaced in time. Through disinfection, mold and other bacteria on your feet can be killed before entering the water to avoid contaminating the pool water.

In this test, the reporter also discovered a new trend: some swimming pools are changing the traditional single function of swimming, and are moving closer to comprehensive and entertaining multi-functional playgrounds.

In a swimming pool, the reporter saw that there is no longer just a single swimming event, but there are many entertainment facilities. Citizens come here not so much to swim, but to play in the water and have fun.

In this swimming pool, in addition to the traditional shallow water area and deep water area, there are also adult entertainment areas, children's entertainment areas, and wave areas. In addition, there are slides, ropeways, rafting and other projects. The reporter saw that slides, ropeways, rafting, etc. were very popular with customers, and there was a long queue of people waiting for rafting. Observation found that people playing here are enjoying themselves, taking a leisurely walk, or cuddling together and whispering.

The poor water quality of individual swimming pools and "disinfectant chlorine preparations exceeding the standard" have become a new problem

The quality of pool water should be the topic that consumers are most concerned about. In this test, the reporter found that in some swimming pools, The water quality is not ideal.

In a swimming pool, the reporter saw that the water in the pool had turned light yellow, and there were some unknown black scum rolling in the water. Even so, the people playing in the swimming pool did not seem to care and were still enjoying themselves happily. Flowing in the water.

Swimming pool sanitation measures need to be strengthened

During the trial, we also found that in terms of how to take measures to stop the bad behaviors of individual consumers that affect the public sanitation of swimming pools, Many swimming pools appear weak.

In a swimming pool, not long after the reporter entered the water, a three or four-year-old child came out of the water with his mother and was about to finish swimming. However, as soon as he came ashore, the little girl shouted that he wanted to "pee." The toilet was close at hand. The reporter thought that the mother would take her daughter to the toilet. Unexpectedly, she directed her child to urinate on the shore in public. Because the staff didn't notice, even though several consumers nearby were obviously dissatisfied, the mother still seemed nonchalant.

During the experience, a staff member of a swimming pool said frankly that for individual consumers’ behavior that harms public health, the most the swimming pool can do is to dissuade them.

Open up and ask a sensitive question about beach swimming.

Some people say: Many people who swim in the sea urinate directly in the sea water. I would like to ask my friends who grew up at the beach or have been swimming at the beach, is it so serious? It's okay in seawater with few people, but on a beach with thousands of people, the concentration of urine in seawater wouldn't be scary. I heard that the number of tourists at a well-known bathing beach has decreased in the past few years because it was too dirty. It seems that it is because there are more people peeing in the sea. It is inevitable to drink a few mouthfuls of water when swimming. I am a person who loves the sea, but this statement still scares me.

Also, I recall that more than ten years ago when I was in junior high school, my family and I went swimming at the beach for the first time during the summer vacation. I wanted to urinate in the middle. After I made this request, my family and the girl and her mother who were staying in the same hotel with us all persuaded me to pee in the sea without hesitation (it should be noted that there is no toilet on the shore and it smells bad). There is a sign reading "No defecation or defecation" in the simple changing room). Because I was not used to peeing in my swimming trunks, and it was not convenient to untie my swimming trunks, I slipped ashore. I started to want to pee in the simple changing room. After all, the people inside were all men, and some people must have peed in there. After entering, there were always people coming in and out, and there was a sign saying "no urination and defecation", so I hesitated again and again and did not dare to relieve myself in the locker room. It was really uncomfortable to hold it in, so I came out of the locker room and found a relatively secluded place to pee. In fact, some tourists must know what I am doing by looking at my back. Who asked me to come to such a place? I just make sure that no one I know sees me peeing from behind. After swimming for more than an hour, I wanted to urinate again. This time I was familiar with the journey and continued to rely on my younger age to urinate with my back to the crowd. It felt quite embarrassing at the time, but I think it would be even more embarrassing if I peed in my swimming trunks. The girl I was playing with was one year younger than me. She was wearing a red swimsuit and was a very lively child. She couldn't swim and wore a green rubber band. Since my family brought an air mattress that allowed us to float on the water, she always rowed the "boat" with me with her hands. Since we have been playing together, I found that after more than an hour she would tell me: "I'm going over there." She would put on the swimming ring and leave the air mattress to swim for more than ten meters, stay for a while and then swim back. She would do this two or three times every time we went to play. I guess she went to urinate and stayed as far away from me as possible, which was a sign of interest in me. Parents may also feel the inconvenience of this beach. Later, we changed to another beach. The result was that it was a different beach without changing the medicine. There were no toilets near this beach, but the changing rooms on the beach were larger. The smell of urine is just a little bit smaller. In the middle of swimming, I felt like I couldn't hold it in and peeed again. I saw that there was no one in the area outside the men's locker room, so I took off my swimming trunks to pee in the open space between the back of the men's locker room and the hillside, and was hit by a guy. The woman who was taking her child to the women's locker room saw it and said to the child: "Someone is peeing behind the locker room." This made me very uncomfortable, after all, I was already a teenager.

Back to the previous question. Nowadays, there are usually toilets at the beach. Although they may be relatively simple, and although some of them charge a fee, I am very satisfied. The embarrassment I felt when I was young is less likely to occur. But what should I do if there are still people who urinate in the sea unknowingly? What if some people don’t want to pay the 50 cents for the toilet fee and would rather pee in the sea? I guess the water in sea areas with many swimmers is 80% unclean.
