The State Commission for the Protection against Health Risks has launched a sanitary inspection operation targeting public pools, hotels, water parks, and sports clubs to certify that they are safe for guests, members, and tourists to use without health risks.
The inspections verify compliance with the Official Mexican Standard NOM-245-SSA1-2010, which establishes sanitary requirements and water quality standards for swimming pools in order to minimize health risks for users.
Inspectors check general hygiene conditions, the operation of filtration and disinfection systems, appropriate residual chlorine and pH levels, facility maintenance, and water quality logs.
At each pool visited, water samples are collected for microbiological analysis to detect—in a timely manner—the potential presence of microorganisms that could pose a health risk to swimmers.
Beatriz Aguiar Monroy, State Commissioner for the Protection against Health Risks, stated that these preventive measures during the holiday season aim to ensure the safety of families visiting recreational areas.
She noted that pool owners are advised to maintain an ongoing cleaning program—including disinfection and water quality monitoring—and to ensure that users follow the hygiene practice of showering before entering the water.
