The Colorado Department of Health and Environment released draft guidance on swimming pools on Monday. Swimming pools would be limited to 50% capacity or 50 people, whichever is fewer. The draft recommends pools create a reservation system and recommends frequent restroom cleaning.

Swimmers are urged to keep 6 feet apart. The CDPHE is soliciting input from industry and others before the final version will be released Thursday.
