    Annex to the 2023 Model Aquatic Health Code, 4th Edition SCIENTIFIC AND BEST PRACTICES RATIONALE Posted on 02/01/2023. CS323256-A.

    The 4th Edition of the Model Aquatic Health Code (MAHC) is the latest effort to improve the MAHC, which is a set of voluntary guidance based on science and best practices. The MAHC was developed to help programs that regulate public aquatic facilities reduce the risk of illness, injury, disability, and death in their communities (see MAHC history at https://www.cdc.gov/mahc/editions/creation.html). The MAHC is a leap forward from U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) operational and technical manuals published in 1959, 1976, and 1981 and a logical progression of CDC’s Healthy Swimming program, which was started in 2001. The 2023 MAHC (4th Edition) underscores CDC’s long-term involvement and commitment to improving aquatic health and safety. MAHC guidance stemmed from concern about the substantially increasing number of reported outbreaks starting in the mid-1990s. Creation of the MAHC was the major recommendation of a 2005 national workshop, which was charged with developing recommendations to reduce the incidence of these outbreaks. Local, state, and federal public health officials and the aquatics sector formed an unprecedented 7-year collaboration to create the 2014 MAHC (1st Edition). The MAHC is being regularly updated with input from the Council for the Model Aquatic Health Code (CMAHC). The CMAHC was established to help CDC keep the MAHC up to date and current with the latest advances in the aquatics sector, while also responding to the latest public health reports of public aquatic venue–associated illness, injury, disability, and death. For each update cycle, CMAHC leads efforts to solicit, collect, and assess MAHC change requests (proposed changes to improve the MAHC); hosts a national stakeholder conference to discuss change requests; and holds a membership vote on the proposed changes. The partnership among public health, the aquatics sector, CMAHC, and academia strengthens the efforts to achieve CDC’s vision of “healthy and safe aquatic experiences for everyone”.
