TYLER - As the school-year comes to a close, many kids are looking to spend their days by the pool.

Before parents let their kids beat the heat in a public pool, there are a couple of things they should know.

The Center for Disease Control recently found one-in-eight swimming facilities pose health risks with the most common symptom being a stomach bug.

Disease Control says the best way to prevent water-borne disease is to tell your kids not to swallow the water.

Other tips involve keeping your child out of the water if they're sick and checking to make sure the water is properly maintained.
