OAR 333-060-0207
Supervision — General-Use Pools

(1)

Certified Operator. By January 1, 2009, all public swimming pools serving or installed for the state or any political subdivision of the state, including a school district, municipality, or recreation district with 2000 square feet (185 m2) or more pool surface area in one or more pools must have at least one currently Certified Pool Operator, on staff, as defined in OAR 333-060-0015 (Definitions)(6). This person must be in a position with management responsibility for the way the pool is operated, including the authority to close the pool.

(2)

Lifeguards. Lifeguards must be provided at all general-use pools during all hours of operation. The number of lifeguards is determined by the type of pool.

(a)

One lifeguard for every 40 patrons in the pool, or fraction thereof, shall be provided.

(b)

Lifeguarding Plan. Any pool operator may submit a lifeguarding plan as an alternative to compliance with section (2)(a) of this rule. The 10⁄20 guest protection standard, or equivalent, provides a method for evaluating and developing a lifeguard staffing plan providing rapid emergency response.

(A)

All general-use specialty pools and water recreation attraction pools and limited-use pools required to have lifeguards are required to submit a lifeguarding plan to the Division or its agent for approval. Unless otherwise determined by the Division or its agent, the number of lifeguards determined by the lifeguard plan shall be provided, with the additional guards required in sections (2)(c) and (2)(d) of this rule.

(B)

A shallow water lifeguard as defined by OAR 333-066-0015(31) may substitute for the required lifeguard at pools less than four feet (1.2 m) deep and at wading pools. At no time may they substitute for lifeguards at pools with water depths greater than four feet.

(C)

A lifeguard near the exit to slides or waterslide flumes shall be provided. A lifeguard may guard two slides or waterslide flumes, situated near each other so they are both easily supervised.

(D)

An attendant, responsible for enforcing slide usage rules at the entrance to slides or waterslide flumes shall be provided. One attendant may supervise two slides located near each other, on the same tower.

(E)

Slides less than six feet high, discharging six inches or less above the water, with open slide trays or flumes so the landing area is easily visible, may be exempted by the Division from some or all of the dedicated supervision requirements in sections (2)(C) and (2)(D) of this rule.
