Last year, Wally the Alligator was swimming in my pool and taking pictures with people rubbing his tummy. Today, I have five fish in the chlorinated pool. So they are like super mutant fish. Tomorrow, my Board member's kids are going to go fishing - in my pool. You cannot possibly make up these stories. #penco #pencomanagement #wally #alligator #fish #pool #poolseason #propertymanagement #community #communitymanagement

A case study published in the new issue of Journal of Zoo Aquarium Research investigated infection-related abnormal swimming in an aquarium-housed yellow stingray: 🌊An inner ear infection was thought to be causing the abnormal swimming behaviour. 🌊A meclizine treatment resulted in reduction of abnormal swimming, and increased normal swimming and resting. 🌊Further reduction in abnormal behaviours after the stingray returned to its more complex home habitat, from the isolated treatment tank. --- Read paper (open access): https://lnkd.in/eJ_6fDzq --- #ZooResearch #stingrays #AnimalHealth #animalwelfare

Is my swimming pool safe for my dog? This is a question we’ve been asked plenty of times before, so is a pool safe for dogs? Supervised pool dips are entirely safe for your dog, especially if it's a breed that is naturally skilled in swimming. Just like with children, ensure there's a secure exit for them. An added benefit is that you won't have to wash your pet's fur to remove pool chemicals afterward. However, it's important to note that larger dogs and frequent pool use may introduce more bacteria, which will require extra time to filter out.

With Summer approaching, we wanted to remind pool owners of the important regulations in Alabama to prevent swimming pool injuries. 💦 Pool owners must maintain four-sided isolation fencing that is at least five feet high, with self-latching gates. 🧸 Toys must not be left in the pool as it may be considered an attractive nuisance for nearby children. 🏊♂️ Some pools (if they are large enough) must have a lifeguard on-duty. See the full list of rules ➡️ https://bit.ly/44eymny #poolsafety #swimmingpoolinjuries
