Can i swim in ocean pools and baths?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes : According to the CDC swimming will be allowed this summer in pools and outdoors. The chlorine in the pool will kill COVID-19. They suggest you take a shower first before going in the pool. If you can swim, you can do this activity safely this summer.
