Pool safety is governed by the adopted International Swimming Pool and Spa Code plus the local four-foot barrier and self-latching, locked-gate requirements in Zoning Ordinance sec. 3.3.13. Any pool lighting must be shielded from adjacent properties.
Simpsonville relies on two layers: sec. 8-41 adopts the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (with South Carolina Modifications) for construction, barriers, and equipment safety, and Zoning Ordinance sec. 3.3.13 mandates a four-foot enclosing barrier around non-portable pools over 24 inches deep, self-latching gates that stay locked when not in use, and pool lighting shielded from neighboring properties. These safety-barrier and gate provisions are the operative child-drowning-prevention rules; South Carolina does not preempt local pool-barrier ordinances.
Non-compliant barriers or gates fail inspection and are cited as Code/zoning violations; unsafe or unshielded lighting can also be ordered corrected.
