R.61-51 was enacted to protect public health and safety when recreating in public swimming pools. These amendments incorporate updated design and construction requirements. There are several operation and maintenance changes that are necessary to improve safety in and around the pool as well as ease of maintenance. These amendments address multiple issues dealing with the construction and operation of public swimming pools in South Carolina. The amendments are needed to provide greater flexibility for the building of public swimming pools and are necessary in order to provide consistently safe and healthy recreation for our citizens and visitors when they choose to swim in public pools throughout the State.
