A report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found a total of 208 confirmed outbreaks of illness associated with “treated recreational water” — primarily public swimming pools, hot tubs and water playgrounds — between 2015 and 2019. The outbreaks resulted in 3,646 cases of illness, 286 hospitalizations and 13 deaths. Most outbreaks occurred in June, July or August. Health experts suspect the actual numbers are even higher since many illnesses go unreported.
