Clear Water Doesn't Mean It Is Safe For Swimming

Whether you're a competitive swimmer pushing your limits, a first timer learning to swim, or a leisure floater enjoying a relaxing dip, maintaining safe pool water is critical to swimmer safety.

According to a recent 2024 Leslie's-commissioned Harris Poll, 71% of Americans believe that clear water is clean and safe for swimming. However, clear water can still harbor disease-causing microorganisms — such as Cryptosporidium, E. coli, and Giardia — that pose a danger to swimmers. Pool owners shouldn't assume a pool is safe just because the water is clear. Regularly test, sanitize, and balance your pool water to keep it clean and ensure the safety of those enjoying your pool this summer.
