Chlorine just doesn't cut it. According to the CDC, the pool can harbour a large variety of illnesses including gastrointestinal, skin, ear, respiratory, eye, neurologic and wound infections, but the most common illness is diarrhea.
Here are some tips:
Do not swim when you have diarrhea.
Do not swallow pool water.
Take a shower before swimming and wash your hands after using the toilet or changing diapers.
Take your kids on bathroom breaks or check diapers often.
Change diapers in a bathroom or changing area—not at poolside.
Wash your child thoroughly with soap and water before swimming.
