Private swimming pools vaccine requirement (Ovid, Cleveland: centers, retired, studios)

[sam007]

guys - for kids age 5-11, do private swimming pools also require vaccine cards for kids starting Dec 27 or is it just the NYC public recreational centers?

Thanks

All fitness facilities including pools require it for people age 5 and up.

People 5 and older are required to show proof they have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine for:

Indoor fitness
Includes gyms, fitness centers, fitness classes, pools, dance studios and other indoor fitness studios, such as yoga or Pilates

Chlorinated Pools ?
US Center for Disease Controls says
properly maintained chlorine should inactivate the virus.

Government Overreach?

I guess when kids go swimming to a pool, they are only spending a short amount of time in the pool. The rest of it they are playing with other kids on the side, or clinging to their mom or getting lessons in arm movements or breathing techniques from the coach or whatever.

you're right they can't catch/spread covid from the chlorinated water itself

I actually have been wondering all this time why no one seems to have studied whether covid is transmissible in a pool.

I'm no scientist but i think spreads in respiratory droplets. It also appears in wastewater but I really really hope there's no wastewater in the swimming pool.

Cleveland Clinic says the virus is not waterborne
