Pool & Spa Safety Act

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?

    Why not use something like inlet pressure as a criterion? I think you could plug in the numbers and prove that a pool with certain pumping equipment and drain configurations (number and size of drains) does or does not have a risk of entrapment and whether special grates are required.
