This thread discusses the Content article: HERALD POLL: Public pools,

why not simply only allow babies into pools that have the correct ozone or uv sterilizers in them.

let it be a advertising thing, the pools that want the business will invest in the equipment to retain those customers and have higher capacity water purification systems. Of course they will need to charge more to cover the increased expenses.

at least this way everybody wins.

I think that until they can develop reasonable (affordable)ways to make it safer for everyone - they need to ban young children from public pools. I think everyone has the same feeling when they see a "floaty". As reported, one accident can cause lots of problems - it's a health issue plain and simple. Backyard baby pools would work perfectly for the diapered child. I know mothers enjoy the pool too, perhaps they could trade off with another parent so they can go every other day.
