Swimming Pool Rules for Health and

Safety
By Christophe Keller /  February 24, 2020 / Swimming Articles
Even though they sometimes seem restrictive, swimming pool rules
exist for a good reason. They are designed to protect the health and
safety of all pool visitors.
A specific set of swimming pool rules

Public Swimming Pool Rules


1) Always follow the specific rules laid down by your local pool.

2) Always follow the instructions of the lifeguard. He or she is the


most qualified person to make decisions in this environment.

3) Parents should always keep an eye on their children.


4) Do not run alongside the swimming pool, but walk instead.
Children often like to run and are at higher risk of breaking a limb if
they slip on the wet floor.

5) No rough play, either.

6) Do not dive without proper supervision by an experienced


swimmer or instructor.

Diving should always be done at the deep end of the pool, and
never at the shallow end or anywhere in between.

It is not unusual for children to suffer head injuries or broken necks


because they tend to overestimate the depth of the water, then
crash headfirst into the ground.

7) Avoid going to the pool if you have the flu, open wounds, or
warts. You do not want to infect other pool visitors.

8) Wear a swim cap.


First, swim caps can protect your hair from chlorine and other
swimming pool chemicals.
Second, swim caps reduce the occurrence of hair clumps at the
bottom of the pool and also keeps the pool filters clean.

9) Always use a clean swimsuit. Do not go into the pool with


swimwear that you have worn all day.

10) Do not enter the pool if you are dirty. Always shower first. The
pool is not your bathtub.

11) The pool is not a toilet. Please use the bathroom.


12) If you go to the pool with a toddler, make sure he or she is
wearing waterproof swimming diapers.

13) Parents should ensure that their children (and of course


themselves) do not cross lanes or play in lanes where people swim.

It can be frustrating for swimmers to have to swim around standing,


walking, or playing people.
14) Parents should make sure that their children do not sit on the
pool lane dividers, as this can be quite disturbing for lap swimmers.

15) Avoid swimming underwater while holding your breath,


especially after hyperventilating. This can lead to shallow water
blackout and drowning.

16) Do not “borrow” swimming equipment that is lying around the


edge of the pool and looks like it has been abandoned.

Someone brought it there and will most likely need it soon.
