New Jersey's Public Recreational Bathing Code sets statewide safety, water quality, and operational rules for all public and semi-public pools.
The Public Recreational Bathing Code, N.J.A.C. 8:26, adopted under N.J.S.A. 26:4A-1 et seq., regulates all public and semi-public swimming pools, spas, and bathing waters. It establishes statewide rules for lifeguard staffing, water disinfection, suction outlet covers compliant with the federal Virginia Graeme Baker Act, signage, and emergency equipment. The Department of Health enforces the code through local health departments. Operators must obtain a license and pass annual inspections.
Operating without a license or in violation of safety standards can result in closure orders, fines up to $1,000 per day, and license revocation.
