D W Sports Clubs

[grandpajoe]

Our local D W have drastically reduced the temp' of the pool claiming it is to reduce the chances of members catching Legionnaires disease!! Is anyone else a member of D W and if so have they done it at your pool?????

[grandpajoe]

Or, are they doing it to cut costs via the heating bill, or reduce numbers using the cramped facilities???

Are DW sports clubs owned by Dave Whelan the Wigan Athletic chairman? (their ground is now called the DW Stadium)

If you google, there is a lot of stuff about the risk of Legionnaires in spa baths (which are by nature warmer water) but I can't see anything yet about swimming pool temperatures. I'll keep looking.

Here on the second page it says minimal risk in swimming pools, as long as they are properly maintained. http://www.imspa.co.u...Ejul06pp32-34_000.pdf
