Swimming is an important skill to decrease your risk of drowning, but not everyone has the opportunity to learn how to do it. This week on Health Wanted, host Laurel Bristow and guest Megan Benvenuto dive into the health concerns and benefits of pools and how important they are for people to learn to swim.

In the Q&A, Bristow addresses questions on virus aerosol transmission and mitigation, drinking soda to hydrate, the threat of long bird flu, UTI and hypoglycemia, and vaccine misinformation.
