Operating a public pool in California involves more than just ensuring the water is clean and the facilities are well-maintained.

If you have been hurt while visiting a public pool, we can help. Pool operators should be held accountable for risking the health and safety of their guests. Feel free to contact us if you need support with your personal injury legal matters after visiting a public pool.
What Do Pool Operators Need to Do to Keep Their Premises Safe?
According to California premises liability law, properties must be kept safe for guests and visitors. In many cases, even trespassers are protected under these laws.
Pools are often considered dangerous conditions, so operators must follow several protocols to avoid injuries for their guests. Some of the most essential regulations include the following:
- Maintaining minimum clean water quality standards
- Safe placement of electrical outlets
- Handrail usage
- Specific signage, including those regarding safety, rules, and lifeguards
- Inspection and maintenance requirements
- Slip-resistant materials in critical locations
- Animal safety requirements
- Enclosures to keep individuals outside of the pool in given conditions
- Depth clarity, including information about safe wading
In some cases, public pool operators must also follow additional requirements. If you need support handling a claim related to a public pool accident resulting in serious injury, we encourage you to reach out to Younglove Law Group. We can utilize our strong understanding of laws and other regulations to help you obtain complete compensation.
