The Future of Aquatic Safety: A Leadership Forum

Pool Codes, Outbreaks, and Prevention: The MAHC Public Health Approach Public pools are essential public health infrastructure, and yet aquatic safety regulations remain fragmented across hundreds (and sometimes thousands) of local codes. In this recorded CMAHC discussion, industry and public health leaders unpack why the Model Aquatic Health Code (MAHC) was created, how it’s already influencing healthier, safer aquatic facilities, and why sustaining CMAHC is critical to keeping the MAHC current, science-based, and freely available nationwide. You’ll hear how MAHC helps reduce preventable illness, injury, and loss of public trust, supports health departments with real-world guidance, and addresses emerging issues like new aquatic venues, indoor air quality, Legionella risk, and water reuse/reclamation. The conversation also highlights the importance of collaboration across industry and public health to improve consistency, adoption, and long-term impact.
