used as a guide only. For further advice on ensuring that your pool is fully
compliant with the legislation you should contact your local council. Your local
council can also inspect your pool and issue a compliance certificate if your
pool is compliant with the legislation. Councils may charge a fee for this.
Pool owners are reminded that there is no substitute
for constant adult supervision of children in and around swimming pools to
prevent drowning.
