Let me preface my statements with this.I have been in the pool industry for 26 years and had my Certified Pool Operator license for ~12 years.
In a properly sanitized pool the virus would be killed quite quickly. Salt water will make no difference since it just a different method by which chlorine is produced.
I would agree with the previous post stating the larger concerns:
- Indoor air contamination (this is a respiratory virus)
- Locker room. Surface contamination
Either of these would demonstrate a much greater risk of contamination than the swimming itself.
Would I still go swimming? Yes.
Will I go swimming? No.
Why not? I’d rather ride MTB!
