The objective of this study is to present a preventive measures pertaining to COVID-19 in swimming pools and hot springs in Europe, Canada, United States, and Colombia. After the start of pandemic, all swimming pools, beaches, and hot springs in Colombia were closed. Currently, official management plans have yet to be presented for the opening of hot springs and swimming pools. However, the European Association of Water Parks presents a two-stage reopening plan for public recreation centres, while countries such as United States, Australia, Canada, China, and Austria follow similar measures. Among the most representative management measures mandated to prevent the spread of the virus, medical authorities from a variety of governments have collectively recommended the following: i) maintaining rigorous social distancing, ii) cleaning or disinfection of surfaces and common areas routinly, iii) maintaining healthy environments and most importantly, iv) personal care (ie. if not feeling well, stay home and do not put others at risk).
