Program Background
Public swimming
pools, spas and special use pools are regulated under the authority
of Chapter 3749 of the
Ohio Revised Code
(ORC) and the rules
specified in Chapter 3701-31 of the
Ohio Administrative Code
(OAC).
A public swimming
pool is defined as any indoor or outdoor structure, chamber or tank
containing a body of water for swimming, diving or bathing, but does
not include a private residential swimming pool. The rules establish
minimum standards, applicable throughout Ohio, for the design,
installation, operation and maintenance of these facilities in order
to protect the public from injury, minimize the potential for
disease transmission and provide a safe and healthy aquatic
recreational environment.
