FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (334) 206-5971
The Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) is participating in the annual Healthy and Safe Swimming Week, May 24-30, 2021, an initiative of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The goal of this week is to maximize the health benefits of swimming by promoting healthy and safe water activities. Just 2.5 hours of water-based or other forms of physical exercise per week has health benefits for everyone. Each of us plays a role in preventing illnesses and injuries linked to the water we share and swim in this summer and year-round.
