Pools in our area were actually closed as a result of this scare. The city acted very quickly to get the issue resolved and I think generally, the pools are pretty safe. It's just a matter of personal use. The press has been pretty good about getting word out and making sure people are educated about the causes and the best ways not to contract it.
So far, I haven't been to the pools, but I know other people who use them have tapered off.
Your information about diapers is excellent. A few other thoughts from the City of Phoenix:
Please don’t swallow the pool water. In fact, avoid getting water in your mouth.
Please practice good hygiene. Take a shower before swimming and wash your hands after using the toilet or changing diapers. Germs on your body end up in the water.
