A pre-opening inspection and permission to operate is required on all seasonally operated facilities before the expected opening date. An appointment should be requested several days in advance, to allow scheduling. Year-round pools under regular inspection do not require a special appointment. All children under the age of twelve must be accompanied by an adult within the barrier area. A responsible person must be on the premises at all times that the pool is in operation or accessible by phone or pager.
All accidents are to be recorded.
A child should never be left in a spa. The temperature of a spa is usually 104 degrees F. After only ten minutes in a spa, a child's temperature may be the same as the temperature of the water. Pregnant women should be reminded that the same is true of a fetus. A certified operator must oversee pool operation and maintenance.
