Public and Semi-Public Pools
All public and semi-public pool facilities are required to adhere to the rules set forth in the Richland County Ordinance enacting swimming pool regulations. The primary goal of these rules is to ensure a safe swimming pool facility by approving the pool designs, regulating water quality, and enforcing recordkeeping practices. Proper swimming pool design and operating practices protect the public against:
- Infections transmitted through the pool
- Infections transmitted through the bathhouse facilities
- Physical injury within and about the pool
