Previous studies have shown that mismanaged swimming pools could transmit water-borne diseases. The objective of the present study was the quality assessment of chemical, biological and physical characteristics of swimming pools in Shahrekord city, southwest of Iran. The two main indoor swimming pools of Shahrekord city were considered during the summer and winter of 2013. The number of 459 samples were analysed from swimming pools, showers and dressing rooms for chemical, biological and physical quality assessment. The most prevalent fungi were Aspergillus (48.91%), Penicillium (22.9%), Nocardia (11.31%), Cladosporium (8.41%). Rhizopus (6.18%), Scopulariopsis (6.21%), Fusarium (5.31%), and Mucor (1.38%). The most fungal contamination sites for both swimming pools were showers. Results showed that the values of total faecal coliform, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Legionalla, Escherichia coli and Heterotrophic Plate Count (HPC) for both swimming pools exceeded the guidelines, except for Staphylococcus aureus. The correlation coefficient between bathers load and total faecal coliform, heterotrophic bacteria was 0.949. The turbidity, free residual chlorine, and hardness of both swimming pools were not compliance with standard guidelines. Therefore, the improvement of disinfection and cleaning procedures is necessary, due to the different users and daily bather loads of each pool, as well as monitoring the water quality and increasing of the knowledge of swimming pool users on the risks of these potential diseases.
以往研究表明，管理不善的游泳池可能传播水传播疾病。本研究的目的是对伊朗西南部沙赫雷克德市游泳池的化学、生物和物理特性进行质量评估。2013年夏季和冬季对沙赫雷克德市的两个主要室内游泳池进行了考察。从游泳池、淋浴间和更衣室采集了459个样本，用于化学、生物和物理质量评估。最常见的真菌是曲霉（48.91%）、青霉（22.9%）、诺卡氏菌（11.31%）、枝孢菌（8.41%）、根霉（6.18%）、帚霉（6.21%）、镰刀菌（5.31%）和毛霉（1.38%）。两个游泳池真菌污染最严重的部位都是淋浴间。结果显示，两个游泳池的总粪大肠菌群、铜绿假单胞菌、嗜肺军团菌、大肠杆菌和异养平板计数（HPC）的值均超过了指导标准，金黄色葡萄球菌除外。游泳者负荷与总粪大肠菌群、异养细菌之间的相关系数为0.949。两个游泳池的浊度、游离余氯和硬度均不符合标准指南。因此，由于每个游泳池的用户不同且每日游泳者负荷不同，有必要改进消毒和清洁程序，同时监测水质并提高游泳池使用者对这些潜在疾病风险的认识。
