Purpose: There is a dearth of research conducted on the Knowledge, Attitude and Practices (KAP) of swimming pool patrons and staff to determine their understanding of the importance of Cryptosporidium and its transmission in swimming pools.
Methods: We conducted a KAP survey of public swimming pool patrons (n = 380) and staff (n = 40) attending five public swimming pools in Western Australia (WA).
Results: Knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) of Cryptosporidium varied between patrons and staff but were generally limited.
