SECTION/RULE §747.4809 - Does having a fence affect my duty to supervise children's access to the pool?
Chapter Review Date 05/17/2024

No. Although a fence and locked access provides a layer of protection for a child who strays from supervision and may deter some children from entering the pool area, these do not replace the need to supervise children at all times and monitoring of safety features to protect children from unsupervised access to the pool.
