New ADA regulations went into effect March 15, 2011 and compliance is required March 15, 2012

The level of accessibility depends on the size and type of the pool. For pools under 300 linear feet in size, the ADA Standard for Accessible Design calls for one means of access, which must be either an ADA-compliant pool lift or a sloped entry. Pools with greater than 300 linear feet of pool wall must also have a second means of entry. For further information regarding aquatic facility requirements see:

Chapter 2 Section 242 and Chapter 10 - 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design
