Minneapolis FAQ
Do I need a lifeguard for my apartment pool?
Minnesota allows no-lifeguard operation at most semi-public pools if proper signage, rescue equipment, and a posted emergency phone are provided. Annual MDH licensing is required.
Are drain covers really replaced every 5 years?
Yes. VGB-compliant anti-entrapment covers have a stamped expiration and must be replaced at least every five years to prevent suction entrapment injuries.
