When most commercial pool operators think about pool safety, the first thing that comes to mind is the Virginia Graeme Baker Act or the Access and Disabilities Act. While those are both very prominent parts of the safety standards of a commercial or public pool \u2013 those are only the beginning.<\/p>\n
When we think of safety for commercial pools, we need to think of every part of the pool \u2013 starting in the pump room, running through the bath houses, across the pool deck and of course, in the water. To simplify our discussion \u2013 let\u2019s leave the discussion of Title VII and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) <\/a>\u2013 for another day.<\/p>\n Starting off, I would be remiss if I did not point out that the best safety for any commercial pool is supervision by a trained professional. There are a number of pool safety products for commercial pools, and many are required by law. Most commercial pools have life guard stands but if your pool doesn\u2019t \u2013 our Resin Lifeguard Chair (shown above) can be a relatively inexpensive lifeguard stands<\/a>.<\/p>\n
