This week, the week of 21-27 May, has been designated as National
Healthy and Safe Swimming Week 2023. The observance was formerly known
as Recreational Water Illness and Injury (RWII) Prevention Week.
This annual observance is designed to focus on simple steps swimmers
and pool operators can take to help ensure a healthy and safe swimming
experience for everyone. It also focuses on the role of swimmers,
aquatics and beach staff, residential pool owners, and public health
officials in preventing drowning, pool chemical injuries, and outbreaks
of illnesses; and it highlights swimmer hygiene and the need for
swimmers to take an active role in helping to protect themselves and
prevent the spread of germs.
