Arkansas Swimming Pool Rules and Regulations
The State of Arkansas has strict regulations in place to ensure the safety of people who use and swim in pools or spas. All swimming pool and spa operators are required to post a sign at the entrance indicating the maximum bather load, along with other important rules and regulations.
Additionally, all pools must be equipped with life-saving devices such as life buoys or ropes available for use at all times. Operators must maintain proper pH and chlorine levels in the pool water to prevent skin irritation and illnesses; this should be checked regularly. These strict rules are intended to protect swimmers from harm while enjoying their time in the water.
