Standard policy for pools. Feces and vomit create a biohazard that needs to be cleaned (remove the waste, chemically treat the water, backwash the pool). While that’s going on, no one can be in the pool.
As a former Pool Plant Operator I can tell yall it’s because of cryptosporidium. It is the 00.01% that chlorine and other cleaning products can’t kill. It has a hardened shell that is resistant to chemical treatments. And the side effect of cryptosporidium is basically death by diarrhoea. Can be quite dangerous. Sorry to be very serious about it all.
This is because the microorganisms that commonly cause diarrhea can survive in a pool for hours or days, depending on which one you have. The two weeks is specifically because of a parasite called *Cryptosporidium*, which can still be in you, you guessed it, up to 2 weeks after the diarrhea stops.
This is posted at like, most pools
This is actually a pretty common sign in most hotels nowadays.
Spread some shit…
I guess I’m not going to that hotel, I can’t remember the last time I went 14 days without diarrhea
Tell me you haven’t traveled much without telling me you haven’t traveled much.
Guess I am never allowed in that pool
Persons eating Chipotle and persons who have had Chipotle within the prior 14 days shall not enter the pool water.

They really chose that fuckin color for the sign ?! Really ?
In the US they are legally required to post this message for any public pool or hot tub.
Along with several other messaged and signs, all with minimum letter height requirements.

I wish camp EDC had the same policy…
The women’s jacuzzi at my gym has a sign that says no douching, shaving or dyeing hair in the jacuzzi
Sure glad they made the sign BROWN
The main reason I don’t go to water parks. The pools can still harbor tons of germs, parasites, and bacteria.
These signs are at most pools. Low quality post.
I love that the sign is also a proper shade of brown too… 😆
Why does it say “Please shower before using pool”? Because they’re too polite to say, “Wash out your butthole, you lazy, half-wiping POS.”
As someone with IBS

Hence the dominant brown colours used…
I have seen this before at different community pools…. But the “shall not”….super authoritative and legalize.
Some one else said…the brown sign…. Is pretty funny
After I got my Pool Op License, I decided public pools are not for me.
Who’ll take the L for the sake of making it poo water?
Lol that brown ass sign doe
I caught cryptosporidium from a public pool, almost killed me. Legit warning.
I make signs for a living. We do a lot of packages for apartments. This is just standard, required, ada signage.

This is posted at almost every pool. This is a lame post
2 weeks prior seems excessive
I see those signs at every public pool.

You new to public pools? Next you’ll show a sign saying car occupants must wear seatbelts…
