E-Coli in swimming pool at the Fairfield Inn   

That is really scary to think about , when you think that you are going some place with your child to have fun for the day and cool off and the next day or that night , your child is fighting for his/her life .
I have watched movies on how dangerour Ecoli can be and now we don't drink any of the water from our tap but get it elsewhere because when we tested the water , it didn't test bad for Ecoli but it did show traces of it in the water . We were told not to worry about it that the amount that was showing in the water was not enough to hurt us but I am not taking any chances with my children .

There was an E.Coli problem in Georgia in 1998. It seems I remember several children being affected there too. One of the biggest problems is allowing children (and adults) into swimming pools who have been having diarrhea. As you stated, pools without adequate chlorine levels and improper pH are breeding grounds for numerous organisms. Children should be taught to keep their mouths closed and to really try hard not to ingest pool water.

Thank you very much for the information and I would like to take this information a step further and to include not only pools at hotels but also pools in private homes. E-Coli does not descrimate. Thanks again.
