Alaska Swimming Pool Rules and Regulations 

The Alaska Admin Code outlines a comprehensive set of regulations to ensure public pool safety and cleanliness. Its Pool Rules sign includes requirements for hygiene, such as frequent maintenance checks, regular testing of water chemistry, and use of proper equipment for disinfection. It also requires the presence of lifesaving equipment, including a 20 inch outside diameter ring buoy with a 60 foot throw that must be readily accessible in the event of an emergency. While a No Lifeguard sign is not required under the law, it is highly recommended as an additional safety measure. To further protect swimmers from potential hazards, appropriate signage must also be present to inform patrons of any additional rules or restrictions at the pool facility. Adherence to these regulations helps Alaska's pools remain safe and enjoyable places for all swimmers.
