Council for the Model Aquatic Health Code (CMAHC)

The CMAHC is a non-profit organization founded in 2014 that promotes the health and safety of people, families and workers at public swimming facilities. The CMAHC was created to partner with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to promote voluntary adoption of the CDC’s Model Aquatic Health Code (MAHC), the only all-inclusive national model pool code, and to manage updates. If followed, the guidelines outlined in the MAHC can help reduce the risk for disease outbreaks, drownings and chemical injuries at public aquatic venues. Proposed changes to the MAHC are facilitated by CMAHC and submitted to CDC as advice on how the MAHC needs to change to keep up with the latest science and best practices.
