Tuesday, July 19, 2011 at 10:52AM 
Last month we posted information about the CDC Healthy Swimming 2011 Video Contest with submissions due July 4th. The CDC received 49 submissions and selected these 5 finalists up for public vote between July 18 and July 22. The contest rules were:
Videos must be 60 seconds or less and must contain the following messages:
- Protect yourself and other swimmers from recreational water illness (RWIs)—illnesses caused by germs that are found in places where we swim.
- Chlorine does not kill all germs instantly.
- Never swim when you have diarrhea.
- When swimming, keep water out of your mouth.
The finalists are quite clever and amusing. Check them out below and make sure to vote for your favorite at http://healthyswimming.challenge.gov/submissions. The winner will receive $1,000.
