(4) Food and beverages are prohibited in the pool and on the pool wet deck area; animals and glass containers are prohibited within the fenced pool area, or 50 feet from pool edge when no fence exists.

Section 820.310 Safety Equipment: Per (c), When a swimming facility is open for use, an emergency telephone and emergency contact list must be readily available. The phone should be accessible within the vicinity of the pool or within 300 feet of the pool enclosure.

As a general rule, most pools will lose about ¼ inch of water a day or about two inches in a week. In warmer and more humid climates, such as Miami and throughout Florida, this number could climb a little higher, although that water may be replenished with rainwater.

There are no required hours that a public swimming pool must be open. However, it cannot be open at night unless the pool and pool deck have proper lighting for the safety of patrons. The lighting above and below water must be approved by the local building department after a professional conducts a field test.

The following steps outline how to calculate the Bathing Load. First, determine the total pool area (ft^2). Next, determine the average pool depth (ft). Next, gather the formula from above = BL = PA / 15.

“Bather load” means the total number of bathers within the pool enclosure. The Maximum Bather Load is meant to be the maximum number of patrons allowed within the pool enclosure, not just the pool itself.

The bathing load for conventional swimming pools, wading pools, interactive water features, water activity pools and special purpose pools shall be computed either on the basis of one person per 5 gpm (0.32 L/s) of recirculation flow, or one person per each 20 square feet (1.9 m2) of surface area, whichever is less.
