ADVOCACY TIP OF THE DAY: Did you know that the ADA address swimming pools? Often people with disabilities are excluded from participating in many recreational activities, including swimming. The 2010 Standards set minimum requirements for making swimming pools, wading pools, and spas (pools) accessible. Newly constructed and altered pools must meet these requirements. Public entities and public accommodations also have obligations with respect to existing pools. State and local governments must make recreational programs and services, including swimming pool programs, accessible to people with disabilities. Public accommodations must bring existing pools into compliance with the 2010 Standards to the extent that it is readily achievable to do so. HAPPY ADA ANNIVERSARY WEEK!
