English to Spanish: Share the Fun…not the Germs, and Make a Healthy Splash! (CDC Health brochure)
Source text - English Share the fun... not the germs!
Why is this so important?
If you swim into the water when you have diarrhea, you could make others sick. Most outbreaks linked to the water we swim, relax, and play in are outbreaks of diarrhea.
These outbreaks are caused by germs like Cryptosporidium (or “Crypto” for short), norovirus, and E. coli. These germs can spread when someone who is sick has diarrhea in the water. Other people can get sick if they swallow the germy water—even just a mouthful.
Even when it’s treated properly with chemicals, the water can still have germs. Pool chemicals, like chlorine or bromine, are added
to the water to kill germs. But they don’t work right away. If used properly, they can kill most germs within a few minutes. However, some germs, like Crypto, can live in properly treated pool water for
several days.
Let the chemicals use their power on germs—not on your pee, poop, sweat, and dirt. The job of pool chemicals is to kill germs. But when contaminants rinse off our bodies and into the pool water, the chemicals break down these other things instead of killing
germs. This uses up the chemicals’ power, which means there’s less to kill germs. That’s why it’s important to follow these 4 easy steps.
1. Stay out of the water if you have diarrhea.
2. Shower before you get in the water.
3. Don’t pee or poop in the water.
4. Don’t swallow the water

Translation - Spanish ¡Comparte la diversión... no los gérmenes!
¿Por qué es tan importante?
Si nadas en el agua cuando tienes diarrea, podrías enfermar a los demás. La mayoría de los brotes vinculados al agua en que nadamos, nos relajamos y jugamos son brotes de diarrea.
Estos brotes son causados por gérmenes como Cryptosporidium
(O "Crypto" para abreviar), norovirus, y E. coli. Estos gérmenes puede propagarse cuando una persona enferma tiene diarrea en el agua. Otras personas pueden enfermarse si se tragan el agua con gérmenes- incluso sólo un bocado. Incluso cuando se trata adecuadamente con productos químicos, el agua todavía puede tener gérmenes. Productos químicos para piscinas, como cloro o bromo, se añaden al agua para matar los gérmenes. Pero estos no funciona inmediatemente. Si se utilizan correctamente pueden matar a la mayoría de los gérmenes dentro de unos pocos minutos. Sin embargo algunos gérmenes como Crypto pueden vivir en agua de la piscina se trata adecuadamente por varios días.
Deje que los químicos usan su fuerza contra los gérmenes, no en tu pipi, popó, sudor y suciedad. El trabajo de los químicos de la piscina es matar los gérmenes. Pero cuando contaminantes de nuestros cuerpos se enjuagan en el agua de la piscina, los productos químicos degradan estas otras cosas en lugar de matar gérmenes. Esto utiliza el poder de los productos químicos lo cual significa que hay menos para matar los gérmenes. Es por eso que es importante seguir estos 4 pasos sencillos:
1. Mantente fuera del agua si tienes diarrea.
2. Duchate antes de entrar en el agua.
3. No hagas pipi ni popó en el agua.
4. No tragues el agua.

I graduated from the University of Houston with a bachelor's in Business Administration and a minor in International Studies. Teaching languages at two schools in Spain and Mexico after graduation gave me the confidence to endeavor in the world of translation and interpretation.

I also posses translation certification (Translation Quality Management {TQM}) and interpretation certification (Certified Healthcare Interpreter {CHI}), as well as teaching certification (Teaching English as a Foreign Language {TEFL}).
My specialty is in translation and proofreading from Spanish-to-English and English-to-Spanish of any business, academic, marketing, or any other technical document. I can also localize and translate specialty documents, websites, digital media, brochures, manuals, transcripts, and always deliver on time!
