It is recognized, that a man in wider and immediate community, especially by living in larger, urban areas is exposed to a variety of factors that directly or indirectly affect his health, living conditions, and ability to work, as well as the life expectancy. Life in changed working and living surroundings, with decreased physical and neural condition , and inadequate active and passive relaxation results in increase of number of depression, trauma traffic, respiratory disease, deformity- especially in children, degenerative diseases, etc.To prevent thisone has to sit less and become more active, since physical activity in variety of forms, increases the functional capability of all organ systems, and is essential, as a mean of maintaining overall psychological and physical health as well as the ability to work. Swimming is a healthy physical activity that is valued for its benefits. It has a powerful effect on all body systems, and nowadays a significant number of people use swimming pools more or less frequently. However, recreational activities at the swimming pool can endanger health, so it is necessary to the properly manage the pools, as to reduce threats to the smallest possible measure.The research confirmed the hypothesis that the water quality in swimming pools and recreation in many respects depends on the correct design and construction of swimming pools, rationally established hydraulics, acceptable water quality, capacity and efficiency of the water treatment, the workload of the pool, the implementation of appropriate sanitary and hygienic measures and control of the critical points in and around the pool, behavior of users as possible contributors to water pollution, provide a satisfactory quality of water, which endangers the safety of users.

Sažetak: Potreba za rekreacijom kao jednim od načina održavanja psihofi zičkog zdravlja i radne sposobnosti, je bitna potreba savremanog čovjeka. Značajan broj ljudi, povremeno ili stalno, koristi u te svrhe bazene. Međutim, rekreativne aktivnosti na bazenima, mogu da ugroze zdravlje, od kojih je rizik obolijevanja prouzrokovan mikrobiološkom i hemijskom kontaminacijom vode bazena najveći, tako da je neophodno odgovarajuće upravljanje bazenima kako bi se taj uticaj sveo na što manju mjeru. Cilj ovog rada je da se ispita higijenska ispravnost i kvalitet vode otvorenih bazena SRC "Fortuna" u periodu 2015 i 2016. godine i na osnovu rezultata ispitivanja procijeni bezbjednost korisnika bazena. Ispitivanjima je utvrđeno da je voda bezbjedna za kupanje, čime je potvrđena uspostavljena radna hipoteza "da kvalitet vode u bazenima zavisi od pravilno vođenog postupka prečišćavanja i dezinfekcije vode u zavisnosti od opterećenosti bazena, provođenja odgovarajućih sanitarno-higijenskih mjera i ponašanja korisnika kao doprinosnih činioca onečišćenja vode". Ključne riječi: kvalitet, opasnost, rizk, mikroorganizmi, hemikalije UVODPotreba za rekreacijom kao jednim od načina održa-vanja psihofi zičkog zdravlja i radne sposobnosti je bitna potreba savremenog čovjeka jer je utvrđeno da čovjek ži-vjeći u široj ili užoj zajednici, pogotovo u većim, urbanim sredinama, izložen dejstvu različitih faktora koji direktno ili indirektno utiču na njegovo zdravlje i životne uslove, na njegovu radnu sposobnost i na samo trajanje života. U tako izmijenjenoj radnoj i stambenoj sredini, sa osiromašenom tjelesnom i nervnom kondicijom, bez mogućnosti za odgovarajućim aktivnim i pasivnim odmorom, ljudi osjećaju nedostatak prostorne slobode. Raste broj nervoza, depresija, traumatizma u saobraćaju, oboljenja respiratornih organa, RESULTS Summary:Man is by living in urban areas, exposed to a variety of factors that directly or indirectly affect its health, living conditions and the only life.

Swimming is a physical activity that is at the effectiveness of the head, and a signifi cant number of people, temporarily or permanently, to use swimming pools. Recreational activities at the pools could endanger health, so it is necessary to the proper management of the pools, to the negative impact of reduced to the smallest possible measure. Tests confi rmed that the quality of the water depends on the proper disciplinary proceeding purifi cation and disinfection of water, depending on the workload of the pool, the implementation of appropriate sanitary-hygienic measures and user behavior as a contributory factor to water pollution.
