The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have scheduled the 6th Annual Recreation Water Illness Prevention Week for May 24-30, also the final week of National Water Safety Month. The nationwide observance will focus this year on pool inspections and the “Triple As” of swimming: awareness, action and advocacy. Organizers of RWI Awareness Week are counting on aquatics professionals, health-care providers and community leaders to raise the public’s consciousness on parasites such as cryptosporidium, giardia, pseudomonas and Legionella.
