However the coronavirus pandemic has many questioning whether it is safe to be around the water for fear of contracting the virus.
The good news, is it is unlikely that you could get COVID-19 from the physical pool water, as long as health standards are being practiced.
There is no evidence that the virus that causes COVID-19 can be spread to people through the water in pools, hot tubs, spas, or water play areas, according to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention.
