Aquatic Health & Safety Resources
Just about everyone or their family uses public swimming facilities. The Council for the Model Aquatic Health Code (CMAHC) promotes health and safety at the nation's public swimming pools and hot tubs through use of the science-based guidance found in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC's) Model Aquatic Health Code (MAHC). The MAHC is the only all-inclusive national model pool code that addresses today’s cutting edge health and safety issues.
