2010 ADA STANDARDS FOR ACCESSIBLE DESIGN

Additional Pool Lift Information

On July 26, 2010, the US Department of Justice released updated ADA Standards for Accessible Design. Please browse our selection of ADA approved pool lifts, or if you are interested in learning more about ADA requirements, click our resources tab above. Among the updates for a number of facility types were new requirements specifically for public swimming pools. The level of accessibility depends on the size and type of the pool. For pools under 300 linear feet in size, the ADA Standard for Accessible Design calls for one means of access, which must be either ADA-compliant swimming pool lifts or a sloped entry. Pools with greater than 300 linear feet of pool wall must also have a second means of access. This second means can either be another chair lift or ramp, or it can also be a transfer wall, a transfer system or pool stairs.

This new legislation was initially passed on July 23, 2010 and became law on September 15, 2010 after being published in the Federal Register. This new legislation requires commercial swimming pools to institute  approved means of access for their pools (pool lifts and/or a sloped entry) on or before March 15, 2012
