Cloakroom in the pool: equipment, hygienic requirements, rules of conduct

A visit to the pool always begins with a dressing room, because you need to prepare for swimming. In any pool, the rules of visiting and behavior of people, describing how to behave in the pool, in the locker room, necessarily hang. But it is better to know about many of them beforehand, before going on water recreation. First of all, this is a public place, where many different people come. And strict observance of these rules will make the visit safe and harmless for health.

Dressing room changing room

In order for the cloakroom in the pool to comply with the rules and perform its functions, it must be properly equipped. Cabinets for locker rooms in swimming pools are not designed for upper shoes and clothes, so these items are surrendered to the wardrobe at the entrance. People should enter the locker room in rubber slippers and without jackets or coats.

Usually boxes are rows, between which are benches. This is made for easy undressing so that people can sit down and change. Each locker should have an individual key, which the person takes to the pool with them. As a rule, the key hangs on an elastic band or rope, which you can put on your wrist.

Shower room - between the dressing room and the pool

After changing clothes, each person should take a shower before sinking into the pool water. The rules of any sports complex involve washing in the shower with soap and a washcloth for 7-10 minutes. This will save the water in the pool itself clean, and all visitors to it - be sure of this cleanliness.

Of course, in the pools are rarely special people who check who and how to wash in the shower. Although the outlet to the pool itself should be a nurse. Its task is not only to check whether a person has washed, but also to inspect it for skin diseases, lesions or dirt. A nurse has the right to prevent a person from bathing if he believes that he has violated any rules.

After a visit to the pool, it is also recommended to take a shower to wash off chlorine from the body. However, this process is individual, each person can act according to his own will.

Intermediate dressing room in the shower

In the shower, each person comes in sneakers and a swimsuit, in which he then enters the pool. But in order to take a shower, they need to be removed, and also hang a towel somewhere. For this purpose, there should be a locker room in the shower of the pool. As a rule, it is a simple hook on the board, where you can hang all your things.

For the convenience of carrying and storing soap, washcloth and other things, pool workers recommend using small plastic bags. It is not a pity to wet them and it is convenient to hang them on hooks in the locker room.

Bathroom in the locker room

Any locker room in the pool must be equipped with a bathroom. His visit may be before or after bathing. Wet in the pool water - a strict violation of the rules of the visit, for which the visitor may be asked to retire.

The rules for the maintenance of swimming pools and all premises require regular and thorough cleaning of the bathroom and showers with special detergents to ensure hygiene and cleanliness of each visitor.

Additional equipment for dressing rooms

In addition to lockers and benches, any locker in the pool must be equipped with additional items and accessories that provide good preparation before bathing and taking care of yourself after it. These include:

• Mirrors - and they should be equipped not only with the women's locker room, but also with the men's;
• A hair dryer - even if during a bathing the head was in a cap, the hair will still be slightly damp, therefore in the locker room there should be several hair dryers;
• Mats on the floor near shops - during dressing it is better not to put your feet on the tile;
• Hangers and shelves in the lockers.

All items of personal hygiene - towels, combs, shower caps - visitors should take with them. Even in modern and expensive pools such accessories are not given out.

Children in the locker room and pool

Swimming is a useful sport not only for adults but also for children. Therefore it is important to know how children should behave in the locker room of the pool and directly on the water. First, a child under 12 can not be left alone, children can only go to the pool when accompanied by adults.

Secondly, children are not allowed to run around the locker room, as slippery tiles can cause a fall or injury.

Thirdly, the hygienic requirements that are intended for adults concern children as well. From the first visit of the child to the pool, he needs to explain why it is necessary to behave in this way, and not otherwise. And then he will learn to follow all the rules to enjoy the swimming pool with pleasure and health benefits.

On the water, you can not leave a child alone, even if he is already swimming well. There should be an instructor near the children who is responsible for every visitor or parent. In many pools a special children's area is allocated, where a small depth and every child can feel confident.

Separation of locker rooms by gender

If any features and nuances of locker rooms in the pool can differ in different sports complexes, then one is invariable for everyone - locker rooms should be divided into male and female. Accordingly, showers and toilets in each locker room are also located in separate rooms.

Men's and women's locker rooms do not differ in size, as most sports complexes are visited by approximately the same number of men and women. But parents with children of the opposite sex can have difficulties. For example, quite often there is a problem when a mother and son come to the pool. You can not let him go alone to the men's locker room, because he does not know what to do or where to go, but he will not be able to take the boy to the women's locker room. In this case, you can ask the staff of the pool to help the child and explained what to do. Or take your dad with you.

Guarantee of safety in pools

The first requirement that must be met before going to the pool is the availability of a medical certificate from the doctor about the state of health. In the pool, where there is no such requirement, it is better not to go, because the quality of water and service in it should cause doubts. Everyone is confident in their own health and adequate perception of existing rules, but doubts that all other people feel and behave the same way. Therefore, in order to avoid misunderstandings and consequences, it is better to take a certificate and visit the pool, which is not allowed without it.

In order to ensure the safety of all visitors, the administration and employees comply with the hygienic requirements for swimming pools, which are prescribed in legislative and regulatory acts. A regular check on compliance with these requirements ensures that the conditions for visits are acceptable and convenient for people. Otherwise, the pool will not function.

Sports pools, as a rule, are larger than amateur ones. But they are equipped they must be more carefully. They are intended for training and competition of sportsmen, therefore swimming lanes in sports pools are longer, there are more of them. In addition, they have thumbs and towers for jumping. To ensure a safe visit to the sports pool, there must necessarily be several coaches. They lead group classes or just follow discipline in the water.
