Pool safety in Atlantic County runs on the state Swimming Pool and Spa Code. Section 305.3 is the heart of it: every pedestrian gate must open outward, close itself, and latch itself.
Section 305.3 sets the child-safety gate package the same way in Galloway, Brigantine, and Ventnor. Pedestrian access gates must open outward away from the pool, be self-closing, and carry a self-latching device, and each gate must be equipped to accommodate a locking device. The barrier cannot offer handholds or footholds that aid climbing. Beyond the barrier, N.J.A.C. 5:23-2.18C bars using a pool until a valid bonding and grounding certificate is on file, so the electrical safety of the water is inspected before anyone swims.
A gate that fails to self-close or self-latch is a cited safety defect that keeps the pool from passing inspection. Swimming before the bonding certificate is filed is unlawful use.
