Pool safety rules include anti-entrapment drain covers (VGB Act), electrical bonding per NEC 680, and barrier compliance. TX Health & Safety Code Ch. 757 requires public pools to post safety info; residential pools follow IRC.
Federal Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (15 USC 8003) mandates ASME/ANSI A112.19.8-compliant anti-entrapment drain covers on all new pools. Residential pools must bond all metallic components within 5 feet per NEC Article 680. Travis County EMS recommends the Pool and Spa Safety layers of protection: barrier, alarms, supervision. Travis County does not require lifeguards for residential pools but does inspect barriers during final building inspection.
