The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released the first national Model Aquatic Health Code (MAHC). Based on science and best practices, the MAHC is a voluntary guidance document that public pool operators can follow to help keep swimmers healthy and safe and that state and local health departments can use when they create or update public pool regulations. The code provides tips on safe operation of public aquatic facilities, including design and construction, water filtration and disinfection, safety, ventilation and air quality and staff training.
