  Illness and Injury (RWII) Prevention Week. As outdoor pools and beaches around the country open and Americans get ready for a summer full of swimming, this is an ideal time to maximize the health benefits of recreational water activities by promoting healthy and safe swimming in your community. RWII Prevention Week is also a great time to reach out to public pool operators, beach managers, the media, residential pool owners, and the general public to initiate action.
  
  This year’s RWII Prevention Week theme is “Healthy and Safe Swimming: We’re in it Together.” As swimmers, aquatics and beach staff, residential pool owners, and public health officials, we each play a role in preventing
  
  1. drowning,
  
  2. pool chemical—associated health events, and
  
  3. recreational water–associated outbreaks.
