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?
I haven't heard of any pools here in the Midwest being shut down of late, and I'm sure my local Rec Center pool drain cover doesn't meet these specs. Is it just a matter of time, or a matter of waiting for someone to be killed locally, or what?
The RecPlex in St Charles, MO was closed before and over Christmas for this reason. A number of high school meets and USA Swimming/ hich school practices were canceled.
