My parents were both expert swimmers and always took part in the local swimming competitions in our quite and small village. Ever since I was a kid my family cultivated the habit of swimming in various swimming pools near our area. By the way I forgot to mention that my father is a Swimming coach for Olympians and we lived closed to the remains of an Olympic Village! He is still involved with IOC’s local branch as a maintenance hand for the swimming pools with the thought that one day the Olympic Games may come back to this Village. Desirous thinking can sometimes be rewarded with a inspired event.
To maintain a swimming pool one needs to know all about water quality, about pool construction, cleaning and disinfecting swimming pool chemicals, showers and general hygiene. The facility must be well maintained and clean so that no one contracts any water borne illness. A regular schedule of cleaning is given to the staff so that there is no lapse in the cleaning of the swimming pools. If a pool is not going to be used for some time the cleaning is carried out and the pool is kept dry or even covered till it needs to be used again. Brominating or Chlorination is regularly affected and the water pH is maintained at a neutral state of 7.2 to 7.6.
Other ways includes cleaning the skimmer baskets, shock method of liberating free chlorine in the pool, providing and controlling algaecide and clarifiers and some other minor treatments. The physical cleaning of the pools are done by skilled pool cleaners who ensure that the cleaning is done by vacuuming and brushing followed by drying and then protecting the pool with a special safety swimming pool covers. It is no wonder that expert swimmers who know all about swimming pools are thought to be the best people to maintain such Olympic grade pools.
