Revised ADA Regulations
On July 23, 2010, Attorney General Eric Holder signed final regulations revising the Justice Department's ADA regulations. The new revisions will require all public bodies of water to have accessible means of entry and exit for people with disabilities. This new law takes effect March 15,2011 and facilities must be in full compliance by March 15, 2012.
The level of accessibility depends on the size of the pool. For pools under 300 linear feet in size, the ADA Standard for Accessible Design calls for one primary means of access, which must be either an ADA-compliant pool lift, or a ramp. Pools with greater than 300 linear feet of pool wall must also have a secondary method of entry. This secondary method can be a transfer wall, transfer system, pool stairs, or another ADA-compliant pool lift.
Call 800-676-7946 to speak to one of our account representatives to further assist with questions regarding the law and pricing on our ADA-compliant lifts.
