Welcome home! **Update** 'We have been made aware that a juvenile that has used the Plantation Resort pool has symptoms that resemble the Crypto virus, however, we have no confirmation as of this time. We are not sure that this pool is the only pool the juvenile has swam in recently. Because of the concern of the potential virus, we will shut the pool down to hyperchlorinate until Friday morning August 22, 2008. We are not aware of anyone else that has experienced symptoms that has used our pool at this time.' Cryptosporidiosis 'Crypto' Information related to Swimming Pools As many residents are aware, there have been reports of persons in the Dallas/Fort Worth area who have become infected with the Cryptosporidiosis ('Crypto') virus as a result of swimming in public pools or water areas. Cryptosporidiosis ('Crypto') can be contracted by swallowing contaminated water or food, and typically causes watery diarrhea and abdominal cramping. Since the parasite may be shed in stool even after resolution of illness, facilities should consider posting signs to remind persons with recent diarrhea to refrain from swimming for at least 2 weeks after diarrhea resolves. We have no reason to believe that your community pool has been infected with the 'Crypto' virus. We have not been contacted by any City or Health Department Official advising that your community pool has been infected with this virus, or that any immediate action is required to treat the pool for the Crypto virus. If we would become aware that your pool had the Crypto virus present, we would take immediate actions to close the pool and take any precautionary measures recommended by such City or Health Official Any person(s) who are concerned about swimming in a public/community pool at this time as a result of the information being publicized should refrain from swimming until such time as they believe there is no risk of contracting the Crypto virus. Here are some helpful tips to keep your community or personal pool safe:
