Is anyone else fearing for their swim program due to the upcoming enforcement of the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act?
I swim in Massachusetts, and there's a possibility our pool will have to close due to compliance issues.
Anyone else dealing with this? We've been calling our legislators and doing whatever we can, but I think it needs to be a national effort.
Thoughts?
My daughter was good friends with Graeme, when she drown in a whirlpool in kindergarten. It was very traumatic for her family (obviously) and the community. I see no reason why spas/whirlpools cannot comply with this legislation, and preventable death seems a admirable goal. I literally had nightmares about this for quite awhile.
The fact that there is limited inventory doesn't seem like a compelling reason not to pass the Act. Surely some capitalist will step and fill the void?
