Colorado mandates public pool safety equipment, lifeguards for certain facilities, and Virginia Graeme Baker drain compliance under CDPHE rules applied uniformly across pools.
5 CCR 1003-5 requires public pools to maintain rescue equipment (shepherd's hook, ring buoy with rope), proper signage, anti-entrapment drain covers complying with the federal Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act, and emergency communication. Pools over certain sizes require certified lifeguards or 'Swim at Your Own Risk' signage with operational restrictions. Water chemistry testing must occur multiple times daily. Residential pool safety is governed by IRC and homeowner discretion.
Public pool safety violations result in immediate closure, fines up to $1,000 per violation per day, and possible permit revocation by CDPHE.
