    abstract = {Swimming pools, due to the presence of different society segments at them and appropriate
environment for transferring different diseases are important in terms of health issues, so the aim of this study
was comprehensive examining of Kermanshah’s swimming pools water and comparing its results with national
standards. current study was descriptive, cross-sectional study that was conducted in Kermanshah’s active
pools. In this study, besides determining the general characteristics of pools through interviews, fecal coliform
and physicochemical parameters such as residual chlorine, turbidity in the sampling site were assessed. Finally,
all calculations performed by SPSS Software (Version 16) and statistical significance was considered at 0.05.
The results showed samples, 15.2% had fecal coliform and residual chlorine levels in 17.2% cases were higher
than standard level. According to the results, fecal coliform has the lowest accommodation with standard
indicating the requirement for continuous monitoring of water’s physical, chemical and biological
indicators and control filtration situation and disinfection of pools water and also alternative antibiotics is
recommended.}
