Abstract :
Purpose of this research were to identify water quality at Tirta Krida’s and Sendang Delta sport center’s swimming pool in Sidoarjo (physically, chemically, and microbiology) and identify the health disorder of swimmers. This was a descriptive research with cross sectional approach. Sample consists of the pool’s water (raw water, water after chlorination and after used) and the swimmers. The sample of the pool’s water was taken in order to observe coliform, pH, residual chlorine and turbidity parameter during work day and holiday. The samples of swimmers were taken with random technique. Result of this study was the pool’s water quality at both locations didn’t meet the criteria (according to Peraturan Menteri Kesehatan RI No. 416/Menkes/Per/IX/1990), coliform, pH and residual chlorine parameters at Sendang Delta sport center didn’t meet the criteria, while at Tirta Krida, the smell and residual chlorine parameters didn’t meet the criteria either. There were health disorders on swimmers in both places. The health disorder that attacks the swimmers was eyes and skin irritation, slip, and cramps. Swimming pool management was suggested to improve the water management systems, use disinfectant properly and control the water quality periodically. The swimmers were suggested to use personal equipment when swimming to avoid health disorders after swimming. Keywords: swimming pool, swimmer’s health disorder, water quality
