There has been an outbreak of crypto in many of the pools, and they have made restrictions from no children 5 and under in the pools, must shower before entering the pool etc. I know that it was suppose to be revaulated, and if the number of cases was not down enough that they would close all of the pools. My local pool has been closed because they've been redoing the flooring in the locker rooms and the hallways to the pools (which is crazy because the center just opened in March '07, but the flooring was put down incorrectly) and it is suppose to reopen on Mon. Does anybody know if the revaluation has been done, and the results. If not when will it be done? I'm on the swim team so I'm really missing swimming, and I don't have any pools which are close to go swim at! Thanks.

Hi -
According to the Daily Herald: http://www.heraldextra.com/content/view/237281/
From Wednesday, September 12, 2007 "State extends pool ban 2 weeks"
You might also want to call you local pool. Perhaps since it has been closed they where lucky and were not affected by the outbreak.
Good luck -

If swimming is important then getting an untreatable parasite that lasts about a month, I'd swim at your own risk. Just don't let the water get in your nose, mouth. Go to CDC.gov and search for cryptosporidiosis you'll find lots of things that may deter you.
There is an epidemic here in Colorado and it has effected adults as well!

If the pools are that contaminated with feces that they have to restrict children and make everyone shower which they should always do first. ewww if they dont. anyway if they are that bad you dont want to go in them that is for sure. yuk .. i blame those in diapers.
