Swimming as a discipline that requires specific conditions for both training and recreation suffered greatly during the pandemic period. Due to the closure of swimming pools, school swimming pools, and aquaparks, it was impossible to practice this sport. Safety considerations, as an overriding social responsibility objective, and thus reducing disease incidence have been at the forefront of the fight against coronavirus. The paper attempts to explore the safety measures used to curb the spread of COVID-19 and the restrictions on swimming pools that have been put in place after their opening.
