Monitoring was carried out during summer 2011 in three types of swimming pools in Amman-Jordan.
Thirty six water samples, collected from three users type of swimming pools (adults, family and infants), were
examined for its major ionic composition (HCO3-, Cl-, NO3-, SO4=, Ca+2, Mg+2, Na+, K+ and PO4+4) in addition to its
BOD and COD content. All of the examined samples from the swimming pools water were acceptable according to
the local and WHO standards. The type and number of users as well as the maintenance of the swimming pool water
influenced the water quality. The results showed that there was a noticeable increase in NO3, PO4 and Cl than other
ions. All of the examined samples from the swimming pools water were acceptable according to the local and WHO
standards and although the water of the infant’s users changed frequently, it showed the highest concentration of
most of the parameters and Adults’ pool showed the lowest.
Key words: Bathers, infants, nitrate, phosphate, pollutants, ,
